Finished with the indoor tour of Chateau Sur Mer, we headed outside.
.
.
The original estate was 40 acres, but in its current preservation status , 17.
.
.
There are some wonderful old growth trees.
.
.
With low hanging branch seating.
.
.
.
.
There aren’t any gardens here,…
.
.
Just expanses of well manicured lawns and trees.
.
.
But there is a moon gate.
.
.
Though the gate is locked and the stairs to the top are cordoned off.
.
.
.
This is as high as you can climb.
.
.
.
Giant burl….
.
.
Or hobbit hole?
.
.
.
Either way it was a lovely place to stroll.

River's world..... 
Very nice. I was observing the lovely manicured grass too.

Love the willow tree. The exterior is more to my liking than the fussy interior!

The picture of the home from the outside looks like the Addams family house, lol. Love that moon gate, too bad it wasn’t accessible to the top. But I’m sure it’s an insurance thing and they don’t want anyone falling off.

It was crumbling and falling apart on the top curve, which is a shame…

Gorgeous day and so green outside. I miss trees like that.

I’ve heard Fairies can live in those holes, if you look closely.
