UPDATE: Preservation of Property on Long Neck Came After Months of Effort
|
A total of 1.963 acres of a 4.8-acre estate on Long Island Sound is being set aside and won’t be built on, according to an agreement made with the Darien Land Trust and filed Dec. 18 in the Darien Town Clerk’s Office. UPDATE: Jan. 1, 2016:
Preventing intense development on the 4.8-acre property at 203 Long Neck Point Road was a major reason Darienites Paul “Flip” Huffard IV and his wife, Kimberly, bought the property earlier this month, said Shirley Nichols, executive director of the Darien Land Trust. Neighbors and others who were concerned about preserving open space on Long Neck Point peninsula “were hoping to garner support to purchase the whole place,” particularly after a subdivision into four lots was approved by the town, Nichols said.
