New Canaan Scandinavian-inspired luxury compound features private waterfront setting, asks 8.747 million

259 Frogtown Round in New Canaan Connecticut

A striking new luxury property, unlike anything currently on the market in New Canaan, has officially debuted for sale. Represented by Mar Jennings of Higgins Group Private Brokerage, FrogPond Estate at 259 Frogtown Road is offered at $8,747,000 and introduces a bold Scandinavian-inspired architectural presence to one of Fairfield County’s most sought-after luxury communities.

Further elevating the property is Jennings’ collaboration with premier Connecticut builder Carlos Alvarez of Greenday Co. Together, Jennings and Alvarez share a commitment to exceptional service, top-tier materials, elevated design, and masterful craftsmanship, helping position FrogPond Estate as one of the region’s most distinctive luxury offerings.

Set on 2.25 private waterfront acres moments from town and train access, the newly constructed estate spans more than 13,000 square feet and features 7 bedrooms, 9 1/2 bathrooms, soaring 12-foot ceilings, expansive walls of glass, bespoke millwork, designer lighting, multiple fireplaces, and a dramatic open-concept layout designed for both intimate living and large-scale entertaining.

At the center of the residence is a gourmet chef’s kitchen anchored by dual oversized islands, seamlessly connecting to sun-drenched living spaces, covered outdoor entertaining areas, private balconies, and resort-inspired amenities, including a heated Gunite pool, pond views, and a detached guest cottage.

The property combines sleek contemporary design with high-end functionality, including an elevator, sound system, multiple laundry rooms, radiant heat, custom detailing throughout, and a separate guest residence ideal for extended family, wellness retreats, private staff quarters, or luxury entertaining.

“FrogPond Estate represents a rare opportunity to experience modern Scandinavian luxury at an entirely new level for New Canaan,” said Mar Jennings. “The home was thoughtfully designed to feel both architecturally significant and deeply livable, warm, refined, private, and connected to nature.”

Known for thinking outside the box in the luxury real estate market, Mar Jennings has built a reputation for delivering highly personalized, lifestyle-driven experiences that differentiate him from traditional brokers. Rejecting the standard lockbox approach, Jennings personally curates private tours and immersive property experiences designed to create emotional connection and exclusivity for qualified buyers. FrogPond Estate makes a bold architectural statement, and Jennings’ innovative sales strategy is designed to match it.

Known nationally as an Emmy-nominated television host, bestselling lifestyle author, and award-winning luxury real estate professional, Mar Jennings continues to expand his presence in Fairfield County’s luxury real estate market through distinctive lifestyle-focused listings and innovative marketing strategies.
