Situated north of the Merritt Parkway, the backcountry of Greenwich offers large luxury and estate properties amid extraordinarily beautiful countryside, with four-acre zoning throughout much of the area and extensive open space preserved through the efforts of the Greenwich Land Trust and other conservation organizations. Numerous rivers, lakes and ponds highlight the idyllic landscape along with winding country roads, lush woodlands and meadows and dramatic glacial carved gorges. This area also provides the location of most of the town's golf courses and much of its parkland including the Audubon property, with its impressive new headquarters and study center. Conyers Farm, an equestrian-oriented enclave, is the home of the internationally known Greenwich Polo Club. The backcountry of Greenwich offers a truly unique locale, a pastoral haven less than 35 miles from Manhattan.
