English Ivy climbing a French Villa on 27 acres of equestrian land sounds very Old World. Include wrought iron railings, crystal chandeliers, marbled floors, and murals on the ceilings. The Villa at Saddle Manor has all of that for sale at $2,180,000, for rent at $3,500 for a wedding, or $350 per hour - as long as the event takes at least five hours, or $1,000 per night for the Guest House. What you can buy is a 5 bedroom, 3.75 bath, 4,700 square foot phenomenal estate that has managed to look "Old" even though it was only built in 2000. Equally impressive is getting the ivy to grow that much that fast. The villa is equestrian with parking for four horses, but there's also valet parking for 100 cars. Enough of the 27 acres is left as forest instead of pasture to maintain privacy. There's a luxury to having events that are hidden from view, and that hide the rest of the world, too. This truly is a place where you can live as if you were someplace completely different, or run it as a business and rent it out in a very New World Old World sort of way.
