2084 Plainfield Pike, Coventry: $799,900
″When you win, don’t buy one 10,000 square foot mansion. Let’s find a McGowan compound in several locations that your family loves to visit. We’ll start with 2084 Plainfield Pike in bucolic Coventry. Five acres of countryside, lined with stone walls, surrounding a beautiful colonial and a playhouse for young Jack. There’s also enough space to build a ball yard with a short porch in left field. Plus, rich people need horses and this property has a stable and a barn. All for well under a million, near your beloved Connecticut, and favorite capital city.”

63 Coggeshall Ave. (“Belmont Carriage House”) Newport: $6.5 million
”I would live out my carriage house dreams just off Bellevue Avenue. With over 12,000 sq. feet, it still offers cozy nooks like a stunning wood-paneled library and a dreamy kitchen with a brick floor. This private compound, surrounded by a stately brick wall, feels like stepping into a Nancy Meyers movie with a classic twist—perfect for hosting family and friends in style.”
