Gatcombe Park, Country house in Minchinhampton, England.
Gatcombe Park stands on 730 acres of parkland between Minchinhampton and Avening villages, featuring limestone construction and a stone slate roof.
Economist David Ricardo acquired the property in 1814, commissioning architect George Basevi to execute modifications that remained largely unchanged since the 1820s.
The estate maintains its position as a working farm with livestock operations, reflecting traditional English agricultural practices in the Cotswolds region.
The property opens its grounds for the Festival of British Eventing in August, hosting competitions that draw 40,000 spectators to the estate.
Queen Elizabeth II purchased this estate in 1976 as a wedding gift for Princess Anne, who continues to manage the property with her family.
