Everyone home for the holidays

Gather the whole family for a long dinner in the main dining room and pool dining hall, spend the afternoon by the fire or in the pool, and wake up together in the morning. Twelve bedrooms across two wings give every household its own space.

“A particular highlight was the dining space as it’s so rare to find houses with a large dining space to fit everyone - this house had three!”

How families use the house

Cook together in the kitchen, set the tables in the main dining room and pool dining hall, watch the game or a holiday movie in the theater, then the pool, the arcade and the fireplaces.

“We enjoyed the movie room, the warm pool and hot tub, the space that allowed for privacy when desired and plenty of common space when we got together as a whole group, and then we of course enjoyed thoroughly the evening hours by the fire pit.”
