When visiting what is considered to be the finest remaining historical country estate of the 20th century you might be struck by a sense of familiarity. The mansion and renowned gardens have been scene and setting for dozens of well-known films and TV shows. The television series Dynasty was modeled after the home and interiors; The Wedding Planner, Dying Young, What Dreams May Come, Nash Bridges, The Joy Luck Club, Lolita and Heaven Can Wait are just some of the well-known titles that call this estate home.
The home itself is an assortment of architectural styles encompassed in a free flowing Georgian design. These different styles are showcased gracefully through the Spanish-style roof, French doors and Italian mezzanines. This reflects what is considered the Golden Age of California architecture, where there was a rebellion of sorts from traditional ideas and rules of design.
The 16-acres of Formal Gardens have achieved worldwide renown as one of the finest examples of early 20th century American design. Planned to take in the gorgeous natural backdrop of the woodlands and Crystal Springs Watershed, the garden was designed with an appreciation of the natural California landscape.
