Conyers Farm, Private residential estate in Greenwich, United States.
Conyers Farm is a private residential estate in Greenwich, Connecticut, close to the border with New York State. The property is made up of large individual lots set among open fields, riding trails, and polo grounds.
Edmund C. Converse began assembling the land in the early 1900s by buying up around 20 working farms that supplied food to the Greenwich area. Decades later, the land was gradually converted into a private residential community.
The name Conyers Farm is a loose adaptation of the founder's surname, Converse, softened over time into something that sounds more like a traditional country estate. The polo fields on the property are the most visible sign of the equestrian culture that defines life here.
The estate is entirely private and there is no public access to the grounds. Those interested in polo events held here may want to check local listings, as some matches are occasionally open to guests.
Peter M. Brant, who bought the estate in 1980, is also a well-known art collector, which brought artists and figures from the art world into regular contact with the polo community here. The property became a rare place where professional sport and contemporary art overlapped socially.
