[quote=Anonymous]I completely disagree. I’ve seen a ton of tacky and overdone “mcmansions” and I was struck by the restraint and attention to blending with the natural surroundings. It’s an enormous house but it’s far less opulent than most of the grand houses in Newport, NYC or something like Hearst Castle. And yes, the gardens are spectacular. But I was surprised by how the main house was not as “fancy” as it could’ve been. The basement room that they let their guests decorate is so fun, and the view from the porch with the unspoiled rolling hills and woods is beautiful- and something they left alone rather than trying to make it into an overly manicured garden.
