martha, martha, martha......

ok, so poor martha s. cannot seem to find a buyer willing to cough up the cash for her house in connecticut...the one she used as a backdrop for her books and television shows......this from the wash post......Stewart has been trying for more than two months to sell her early 19th century federal-style farmhouse for $9 million. Real estate experts say it's not unusual for luxury homes to take at least a few months to sell _ even those with Martha's famous touch.

"It's the most beautiful property I've ever seen," said Eileen Hill, president of the Mid Fairfield County Association of Realtors. "Every blade of grass stands at attention."

"There was certainly no real sense of loss," said Cristin Marandino, editor of Westport Magazine. "I think 70 percent of the people who live in Westport have a Martha story. She just wasn't very easy to live with."


of course, 9 mil would only be the beginning for a new owner....who would need to employ numerous gardeners to keep up with her extensively landscaped grounds, greenhouse, chickens, etc........but for the right martha devotee, it could be a very good thing.......
