Bellosguardo indeed!

Open the door to the Gilded Age through Bellosguardo-a perfectly preserved example of early twentieth century entrepreneurial spirit. The Clark family is a far too little known American story which is encapsulated in this estate-well worth the visit

Bellaguarda: An Absolute Gem

Kristin_K, Apr 2026

Bellaguarda is one of the most beautiful houses I’ve ever toured. From the moment you step onto the grounds, it feels like you’ve been transported to a French château. The symmetry of the architecture, the curved doors, the wood paneling imported directly from France — every detail is extraordinary. What’s even more remarkable is how beautifully the house has been preserved over the past 75 years, feeling less like a museum and more like the family simply stepped out for the afternoon. The guides were wonderful, bringing the home to life with stories of the father, mother and daughters and helping you truly picture how each room was used. The history is as rich as the interiors. Between the stunning artwork, the meticulously maintained grounds, and the architectural details around every corner, Bellaguarda is an absolute gem. Don’t miss it.

Beautiful estate tour

Wonderful tour and an amazing property. Our guide was very informative and spent extra time showing us the beauty and detail of the estate.

Well worth the wait

I have been wanting to do this to over the last few years and just never sat down to schedule it. But after reading empty mansions I was obsessed and so glad to have had the opportunity to go with a dear friend, and see this beautiful historic home.

Beautiful estate! Our...

Beautiful estate! Our tour guides were amazing, knowledgeable, personable and passionate about Bellesguardo. Wonderful stories about the Clark family and about the provenance of the contents of their “summer home” and everything in it. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend it.

A must see! Whether one...

A must see! Whether one is into architecture, antiques, art, history, literature, landscaping, literature, intrigue, politics, psychology, etc… name it, it’s there!
