We invite you to experience what luxury must have been as guests of the Vanderbilts or Astors. This home is filled with antiques handed down through generations.

Entering the Estate through the Main Gate is the West Terrace, and you immediately feel a peace and tranquility so rare in these hectic times. Opening an oversize Spanish oak door, you walk into the marble entryway; your path lit by a gilded crystal chandelier that appears to be hanging from clouds in a domed ceiling.

You may now step down into the French appointed Main Salon. An arched ceiling with architectural details accent a room set with Aubusson tapestries and hand woven French carpets. Above the fireplace, a painting of Aphrodite with Cupid peers down upon your guests as they enjoy the quiet majesty of the room.

Across the way is a Baronial Dining Room with a gold chandelier and swan-based dining table. The room also holds a secret panel for you to discover. From here you can also enter a smaller, more intimate dining room with a terrace view.

Crystal wall sconces brighten your steps to the house's center Garden Room of columns and fountains. Soft light filters through a canopy of silk. From here, step up into a Library with dramatic wine colored damask walls and a golden chandelier creating a quiet retreat. Or, choosing a different pathway, you may enter the Marble Salon. With its own wet bar, fireplace and spacious surroundings, this room also has a view of the pool and gardens through wide French doors.

One must experience the Von Helding Estate in person to truly appreciate the ambiance of this beautifully appointed home.
