Kathie Lee Gifford Lists Connecticut Mansion for $100 Million

When Kathie Lee Gifford and her late husband Frank Gifford bought their Greenwich, Connecticut estate back in 1994, they paid $7.8 million for what would become one of the most storied celebrity homes in New England. Now, more than three decades later, Kathie Lee is ready to let go of the waterfront palace — and she’s putting a nine-figure price tag on it.

The TV legend has listed her sprawling 13,163 square-foot mansion for $100 million. Perched on Cedar Cliff along the Long Island Sound, the European villa-style estate boasts 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, and enough amenities to make any luxury real estate listing blush: a private beach, boat dock, pool, spa, fitness center, tennis court, professional recording studio, movie theater, and a wine cellar housed in a three-story east wing. The primary suite and home office overlook the water, offering the kind of views that come with that price point.

But beyond the square footage and the roster of high-end features, this property carries decades of cultural weight. Frank Gifford, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, and Kathie Lee hosted everyone from Kevin Costner and Dolly Parton to Regis Philbin and Donald Trump within those walls. The home became a fixture in celebrity lore — a gathering place where entertainment royalty mingled against a backdrop of Connecticut coastline. Frank’s passing in 2015 didn’t prompt an immediate sale; Kathie Lee held onto the property even after she left her gig on Today in 2019 and relocated to Nashville. That’s how special this place was to her.

If the $100 million asking price holds, it would rank among the priciest residential sales in Connecticut history. The record stands at nearly $139 million, set in 2023 with a neighboring estate. That someone is willing to list this particular home at such heights speaks to both its architectural significance and its celebrity cache — a tangible reminder that some properties transcend real estate and become repositories of memory. Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby’s International Realty’s Greenwich Brokerage now holds the listing, tasked with finding a buyer willing to pay top dollar for a piece of television and sports history wrapped in marble, water views, and three decades of stories.
