The Red Barn, Baryshnikov's Private Retreat Up For Sale

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

When I made The Red Barn in Snedens Landing, New York an estate of the day back in March I didn't connect it with the two-bedroom cottage that Mikhail Baryshnikov had previously put up for rent. But it turns out that they are part of the same property. Baryshnikov bought the home in 1981 and renovated it. But now he's interested in downsizing.

Snedens Landing is a place where some of the more privacy-minded celebrities have a home. The home began as a barn in the 19th century but was later converted into a residence and then expanded in the 1990s to create a spacious and beautiful home with wide open spaces and large windows offering a water view.

The property that I covered back in March is the whole 4.23 acre property which includes the two-bedroom cottage. As the Wall Street Journal recently reported, Baryshnikov's five-bedroom main house on 1.12 acres is also listed separately at $3.95 million. Baryshnikov and his wife Lisa Rinehart have added newer electrical and heating systems. A new room with with large glass windows is known as the garden room and Rinehart upgraded the kitchen. The WSJ says that the pair is planning to stay in the area and have renovated a smaller home nearby. Both listings are with Ellis Sotheby's International Realty.
