ESSENCE Live authentically. Hewn from ashlar stone between 1926 and 1930, Wynddon Estate rises above nearly seven acres of sculpted grounds overlooking the glittering expanse of Loch Raven Reservoir. A French manor estate steeped in history, whose architecture will endure. Six fireplaces anchor rooms dressed in original wood paneling and ornate millwork, where craftsman-era proportions quietly command every space. Old soul intact. Unrivaled setting. Walled gardens spill into sweeping lawn and panoramic vistas as koi ponds catch the light. Raised herb beds sit steps from your kitchen door. Revel in the joy of growing your own herbs and veg. Outdoor living aesthetics were inspired by the Chartres Cathedral in France. A crystal pool perches at the landscape's edge, framing summer reservoir vistas with cinematic ease. Expansive stone terraces reach into the landscape and invite you to slow the pace of life. Lovingly restored, thoughtfully modernized, the primary suite offers genuine repose, its luxe bath a private sanctuary.
