About this home

The Whitney House is truly a rare delight. Upon entering the house or gardens, both secreted away from view, one has the sensation of having entered a parallel world, one in which beauty and nature abound and provide a feeling of spiritual renewal. 41 years ago, a young man had the vision, passion, knowledge & physical strength to create a world-class horticultural landscape that rivals any botanical institution. The fruit of his industry is a magical woodland replete with rare trees and shrubs, luscious arbors, flashes of color & an Asian style pond fed by two stone-studded waterfalls. He added a 630 sf Greatroom that conjures images of an exotic inn one might find at the end of a wondrous journey. He designed a garage that's a work of art. Excruciating attention to detail created a whimsical flow from room to room, from house to veranda and gardens. Are you inside or outside? Words do it no justice. Peruse the photos. Come visit The Whitney House. You will not want to leave..
