Heligan estate, English country house in Cornwall, England.
The brick-built Heligan House sits at the top of a hill with extensive views over Mevagissey and contains multiple residential units within its structure.
The Tremayne family acquired the estate in 1569, and the current house was built in 1692 following the William and Mary architectural style.
The estate demonstrates traditional English land management through its ancient pastures, hay meadows, and sixty acres of managed woodland supporting local wildlife.
Visitors can explore the estate grounds, including the woodlands and farm areas, which maintain rare breed livestock and showcase agricultural heritage.
The property features Europe's last remaining pineapple pit, which uses decomposing manure to generate heat for growing tropical fruits.
