Description: This 10,000-square-foot manor house built in 1912 is a Mediterranean Revival masterpiece, and they have massage services and a fitness room, tennis court, billiard room, Jacuzzi, and 75-foot pool. There are only 4 rooms here, so you basically have all that to yourself. That limited number of rooms is the only reason this is not listed as a resort, because it certainly has all the amenities of one. Your breakfast is a Mediterranean delight, and in the afternoons the staff will make you fabulous cocktails at the pool. Don’t miss the trees on the property; there are some rare and wonderful specimens to delight any botanist. You can also walk through the 100-year-old apple orchard or use the private screening room.
