Some of the article:

One of Greenwich's last working farms, and the center of a property dispute dating back several years, has been sold.

The two-acre Purdy's Farm property at 1353 King St. sold last Thursday for $1 million to the Jehovah's Witnesses of Greenwich and Port Chester, N.Y., which have plans to build a church on the property. The Jehovah's Witnesses also purchased the adjacent property at 1357 King St. for $500,000. That property will be used for residences, according to Elsie Pecorin, the broker at Weichert Realtors who has been marketing the property since 2008.

The properties were originally put on the market five years ago for a combined $4 million.

The Jehovah's Witnesses, which have locations on Stanwich Road in Greenwich and King Street in Port Chester, could not be reached for comment.

Property values are really high in that area! Around here (South Carolina, USA) we don't like paying over $200K for a couple acres for a KH.

The article said: Church and Residences. Could this be an assembly hall?

[Rosalie4u]

2 acres would not be big enough for an assembly hall. It could be they want to build a KH that also has an apartment on it (or two) for circuit and district overseers to stay. We have some around here that did that.
