A couple of years ago, I came across a listing for a beautiful Palladian mansion in northern Italy that stated: "PALLADIAN VILLA OF HIGHEST IMPORTANCE".
An iconic estate which has become eponymous with grace, class, and Americana. Jackie grew up on the estate with her sisters, spending her free-time swimming, horseback riding, and playing tennis.
"It has seen galas and gowns. A president. A first lady. A rock concert. Champagne toasts. Fashion shows down the double stairs….A ballet performance on the lawn. It has been celebrated in books, in Vogue and in The New York Times."
The mansion, named El Fureidis, was built in 1906. Listed at $35 million by the Russian billionaire Sergey Grishin, the property sold in 2015 for a third of its asking price ($12.5 million).
The 20,000 acre property comes with a film set named “Silverado Movie Town” where several films have been shot including: Silverado, Wild Wild West, and All the Pretty Horses.
