The Copper Beech Farm, formerly the Lauder Greenway Estate, is a 50-acre (20 ha) private property with a French Renaissance mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut. For a time, it was the most expensive home in the history of the United States.[1]

Built for industrialist John Hamilton Gourlie in 1896, it was purchased by the Lauder Greenway Family in 1905 and would stay in that family's hands for a majority of its existence.[2] It is the largest surviving Gilded Age mansion in Connecticut.[3]
