Literary agent David Vigliano (who represented this columnist) and whose current bestsellers include HGTV-famous Chip and Joanna Gaines’ “The Magnolia Story,” is listing his sprawling estate for $1.25 million.
The property, at 7 Quaker Ridge Road on the border of Pawling, NY, and Sherman, Conn., comes with a main house, a cottage and its own pond and a pool on 32.6 acres.
“It’s a private paradise,” Vigliano says.
The estate has lower taxes, he adds, because it’s on the Connecticut side of Quaker Hill.
The timber frame main house is 4,805 square feet and comes with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and a chef’s kitchen. The property also features a gazebo and trails.
The listing broker is Claudia Jiskra of McGrath Realty Inc.
In the Bronx, developer Adam Gordon’s Madison Development has launched the city’s largest community solar-panel system — allowing participants to share energy without installing panels on their own homes or apartment buildings.
Madison entered into a 25-year solar site rooftop lease agreement with renewable energy company Altus Power America to put the panels atop Madison’s 100,000-square-foot self-storage facility at 1260 Zerega Ave.
The deal is a “prototype sustainable energy project for urban areas,” Gordon says, adding that other deals at Madison sites in Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens will follow.
