This breathtaking home has been beautifully restored to respect it's handcrafted, artesian origins, while offering every modern amenity to enable comfortable, flexible everyday living. Its soaring ceiling heights, tall sun-filled windows and French doors with access to multiple terraces, endless views and gracious rooms, offer elegant and easy, expansive or intimate entertaining spaces. Private suites and gathering areas are equally inviting with family living spaces that also accommodate guests for short-term or extended stays. Immediately beyond the main house are a 2-bedroom/2 full-bath guest house in the main courtyard, two pools, a pool house, tennis court and endless miles of hiking/horse trials, all set within stunning gardens, stone walls and grounds. As a picturesque legacy property that can also serve as a family or corporate retreat, look no farther than the timeless and spectacular Linden Hill.
