Filoli, Country estate in Woodside, United States
The estate encompasses a 54,256-square-foot mansion with 56 rooms and 16 acres of formal gardens surrounded by a 654-acre property.
Built between 1915 and 1917 for gold mine owner William Bowers Bourn II, the mansion showcases architect Willis Polk's interpretation of Georgian architecture.
The gardens represent Anglo-American design principles, combining Italian formality with influences from notable designers Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll.
Visitors can explore two specialized libraries, including the Friends Library Collection and Sterling Library Collection, which contain materials about the estate's history.
The Gentlemen's Orchard contains rare fruit varieties donated by California Rare Fruit Growers during its 1997 restoration project.
