The exposed stone walls, deeply stained timbers, and wood and slate floors create a timeless ambiance. The interiors, curated by daughter Deirdre McMullen, highlight elegance with deep, plush furnishings and sophisticated design. The estate also features a sun-splashed saltwater pool, expansive outdoor terraces, and beautifully landscaped gardens.
Participants are invited to explore the thoughtfully maintained grounds and hiking trails, perfect for connecting with the vibrant Autumn colors and serene landscape.
