NEW YORK (CNN/Money) -
Martha Stewart is known for talking turkey, but this time the fuss is over her famed Westport , Conn., Turkey Hill Farm, a published report said Monday.
Martha Stewart is looking to sell the home she purchased as a young stockbroker in the early 1970s. She's put it on the market for a price of almost $10 million, the New York Post reported.
"That's a pretty steep price for what it is," a person familiar with the property told the Post. "Despite its name, it's basically a very nice three-bedroom house on four acres."
Citing the unnamed source, the report said Stewart hopes there will be a "Martha premium" attached to the price of the property, from which she launched the catering company that eventually evolved into her lifestyle empire.
The property at 48 Turkey Hill Road, which includes her original catering kitchen, is probably worth closer to $7 million, brokers told the newspaper.
Stewart's spokeswoman denied any plans to sell the 1850s estate, which if sold would be her third real estate sale in the past year, the Post said.
The Post said that in August 2002 it reported that Stewart was trying to quietly sell her unoccupied West Village duplex penthouse, which her publicist denied at the time.
It was eventually sold for $6.65 million last summer, the report said.
