The estate was designed to be perched upon the highest point of the acreage for maximizing the views and is tucked into a grove of 200 year old oak trees. Linton's Enchanted

 
Gardens is also responsible for maintaining the site twelve months a year. The owners continue to enjoy their landscape so much
