The club level veranda and conservatory are smaller replications of The Biltmore, and the estate also includes a potting room, caterer’s kitchen with separate driveway/private access, and separate quarters for a live-in or fully equipped apartment with private access. The poolside cabana with a kitchen and bar, negative edge pool with mosaic tile and plated gold leaf accents, and water works play area with fountains and water cannons make this estate one of the finest in the country.

The plans were designed by John Sholtz of Phoenix, Arizona, and the gated entrance features an elaborate iron fence built on-site surrounding the property.
