  • Is this the property thats currently for sale?
  • I think you are thinking of the Ogden Phipps house next door. That is for sale for 13 million. Pieces of Spring Hill are for sale, springhillatoldwestbury.com.
  • It's a shame to see it been broke up.I was born and raised there in the gate house. .I drive through the estate every once in a while.It still holds a lot of good memories. For us kids that were brought up on those it was our own private "never land".
