Filoli Historic House & Garden

Set along the slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the 654-acre estate originated as a private country residence centered on a 56,000-square-foot mansion. Beyond the furnished rooms, the landscape opens across formal English Renaissance grounds planted with centuries-old olive trees and extensive fruit orchards. A site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the property balances its preserved architecture with rotating art exhibitions, educational programs, and seasonal events like Nightfall and Holidays at Filoli.
