There is close to one acre of porches, decks, loggias, and walkways hewn of French limestone. One is brought to the main house, elevated in a Palladium style by way of a dramatic 600-foot blue stone private entry driveway that ends in a circular flow entrance that allows for 60-foot truck access, or multiple limousines.
