The main house perfectly represents 1930s pueblo-style architecture and elegance with six bedrooms, inviting gathering spaces, and wide portals opening to lush lawns. Two guesthouses and a lodge offer overnight accommodations for guests. The conference center provides private space for business and the event center, with catering kitchen and panoramic rooftop views, sets the stage for unforgettable events. The Greenhouse showcases a bodhi tree grown from a seed of the tree the Buddha sat beneath to attain enlightenment, a gift from the Dalai Lama after visiting the property, as well as Allen’s impressive botanical collection. This rare and storied estate offers the comfort, elegance, and ease of a truly unique home in an inspirational setting."
