Listed by Higgins Group, the six-bedroom, 5,584-square foot colonial farmhouse was originally built in the mid to late 1700s. It is on the market for $2.825 million.

A massive wine cellar and tasting room that holds 5,500 bottles would have been right up the alley of the hard-partying, Prohibition-defying "Great Gatsby" author.

The home sits on 1.03 acres has been completely modernized with a state-of-the-art kitchen and bathrooms as well as a swimming pool and pool house.

The back of the house faces Longshore Country Club. It was given a Westport Historic Preservation Award in 2004.
