Resting high on a hilltop of California's Santa Lucia, Mountains, Hearst Castle commands a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean and San Simeon Bay. Casa Grande stands 137 feet tall and features 165 rooms and 127 acres of garden, terraces, pools and walkways. Its rooms are furnish with an impressive collection of Spanish and Italian antiquities and art.
Thanks to Sherry for the card.
"Hearst Castle is a National Historic Landmark and California Historical Landmark mansion located on the Central Coast of California, United States. Designed by architect Julia Morgan, it was a residence for newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst between 1919 and 1947. Hearst died in 1951, and it became a California State Park in 1954. The site was opened to visitors in 1958. Since that time it has been operated as the Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument where the estate, and its considerable collection of art and antiques, is open for public tours."
