As someone who built her brand on homemaking, Martha Stewart’s properties are entwined with our understanding of her as a person and as an icon. It’s something that even she admits in her new Netflix documentary, Martha, when she states that she wouldn’t be the same person without her beloved Connecticut homestead, Turkey Hill.

Over the years, Martha has bought, renovated and made a life in more than one iconic property. Here, we take you on a tour of five of the most famous — from New York City to America’s idyllic coastline.

Turkey Hill, Connecticut

Out of all of her enviable properties, Turkey Hill is still the home that people still associate with Martha Stewart. In the new Netflix documentary, Martha, the famous homemaker explained that she wouldn’t be the same person without this property.

After buying the home in the 1970s with her husband at the time, Andrew, Martha lived at the homestead until 2007.

It was a property that Martha made into her own, with magnificent vegetable gardens, orchards of fruit trees and farm animals such as geese, chickens and ducks contributing to the home’s icon status.

The home itself was an early 19th-century farmhouse with a classic farmhouse kitchen. The kitchen, which famously featured on the opening spread of Martha’s 1982 cookbook Entertaining, had sycamore wood cabinets, skylights and an overhead pot rack.

Martha purchased her East Hamptons home on the exclusive Lily Pond Lane in 1991, after her divorce from Andrew.

When Martha bought the 1873 Shingle-style property, it was the “oldest house on the block and a total wreck”.

However, a makeover saw the home revived with an enclosed porch, beadboard ceilings and, of course, plenty of stylish Martha-approved home decor.

The Hamptons home sold for $16.5 million in 2021, when it was bought by former Buzzfeed chairman and cofounder of Huffington Post Kenneth Lerer and his wife Katherine Sailer, an interior designer.
