Filoli

Just 30 minutes south of San Francisco sits a historic house nestled on 654 acres along the California coast. Originally built as a private residence, Filoli is open to the public. The property is considered one of the finest remaining country estates of the 20th century, featuring a 54,000+ square-foot Georgian mansion, 16 acres of English Renaissance gardens, a 6.8-acre Orchard, and hundreds of acres of Natural Lands with six distinct ecosystems. Thousands of tulips bloom each spring, hundreds of roses each summer, a spooky Halloween event in fall, and end the year with a winter holiday light experience.
