The property offers "mature specimen trees," verdant lawns, a stone patio and a covered porch for enjoying the outdoors, the release said. Applejack Farm was founded in 1743. Parts of it underwent a redesign under Frankel's ownership while holding onto some of its historic elements, Architectural Digest reported. "In a town where demand continues to outpace supply, even at the highest end of the market, the opportunity to own a legacy estate such as this one is very rare. Therefore, it is no surprise that the home was swiftly snapped up, epitomizing Greenwich's current market trends," Jackson said in a statement. Frankel, known for her role on "Real Housewives of New York" and establishing the Skinnygirl lifestyle brand, paid about $4.2 million for the property in 2021, according to House Beautiful. While the former reality TV star has parted ways with the Greenwich estate, she still has homes in the Hamptons, New York City and Miami, with Florida serving as her primary residence, according to the outlet.

"I love real estate, I find properties very personal and the family moving in has acquired a generational historical gem, one that only 20 families have inhabited since the 1700s," she said. More than 13,800 people lived in the Greenwich area as of 2020, according to the Census article source: Bethenny Frankel sells her Connecticut mansion for nearly $8M after major renovation
