Log Cabin Retreat Once Owned By Sculptor Of Mount Rushmore For Sale In Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — A historic North Stamford property once owned by Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor behind Mount Rushmore, is on the market for $1,075,000, according to Corcoran Centric Realty.

The log-cabin-style home at 400 Wire Mill Road was originally built in 1877.

Surrounded by mature trees and stone walls, the home combines privacy with proximity to downtown Stamford. Corcoran Centric Realty describes it as "a living piece of Stamford’s history—restored and reimagined for today’s lifestyle."

The residence sits on more than an acre of wooded land and was reportedly rebuilt in part by Borglum after his primary home was destroyed by fire.

"The history of 400 Wire Mill Road is what draws people in, but it’s the attention to detail and the level of craftsmanship that makes it extraordinary," said sales associate for the property, Lauren Turner of Corcoran Centric Realty, in a news release. "It’s rare to find a property that so perfectly balances old-world authenticity with modern sophistication."

The home features a two-story great room with exposed beams, restored logs and a large stone fireplace.

French doors open to a covered patio overlooking landscaped grounds.

A 2021 renovation included a new kitchen with Brazilian Negresco quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and an oversized island. Bathrooms and fixtures were updated, and a converted climate-controlled space that once served as a garage now functions as a studio, gym or recreation room.

A first-floor bedroom with a private entrance offers flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.
