300 Sturges Ridge Road

A rare offering distinguished by architectural clarity, complete privacy, and a deeply personal design vision, set within one of Fairfield County's most sought-after locations. Jay Manuel, internationally recognized creative director and fashion icon, brings a distinctly refined point of view to his architecturally significant modern residence in Connecticut. Acquired in 2011, the home was thoughtfully completed and refined under his direction into a highly considered lifestyle environment, where design, performance, and atmosphere exist in complete alignment. Set on 2.75 acres of exceptional privacy, the sunlit European modern unfolds as a discreet compound, surrounded by mature landscape and a protected nature preserve. Designed for both intimate living and large-scale entertaining, the property features a heated saltwater pool and spa, multiple terraces, an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and a tranquil Zen garden. The residence reflects a disciplined approach to modern living, integrating passive solar principles, advanced HVAC, and whole-property connectivity, all seamlessly embedded within its clean architectural language. Interiors are defined by soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and a Poliform kitchen with Miele appliances. A private primary suite with balcony, a dramatic glass mosaic wine cellar, and a separate 800 sf skylit studio for fitness or flexible use further articulates the home's sense of intention and versatility. Rare. Private. Architectural.
