When Jim Steinman passed in April of 2021, he left behind not only his incomparable body of musical and theatrical works, but also his beloved home in Ridgefield where he lived for nearly 30 years.
From the time Jim acquired the quaint country cottage originally located on the property, it became his personal sanctuary where he envisioned and built his masterful home and studio that served to inspire artistic creation and joyful entertaining.
It was from this home that Jim collaborated with world-acclaimed musicians and artists, composing on the very piano that is included in this once-in-a-lifetime sale of Jim’s home and curated collections that have been left in situ. Jim took great pride in every object that you will see in his home, which served as the backdrop to his life and work. To honor Jim’s legacy, it is the estate’s intention to transfer this tangible body of work to the next custodian who will be enthralled by the transformative power of Jim’s home and art.
Jim commissioned prestigious New England architect, Rob Bramhall, to execute his vision. Jim spent over $6M in the construction alone, and his divine collections are truly priceless (inquire for the Art Catalogue). The sum total of the individual components in this offering is believed to far exceed the list price, but the intention is to honor Jim’s legacy by keeping his sanctuary intact.
