Casa del Herrero

Completed in 1925, this gorgeous Spanish Colonial Revival home is the collaboration of owners George and Carrie Steedman and a coterie of designers, architects and horticulturists. Painstakingly conceived, built and furnished, the estate is a stunning Moorish and Mediterranean unification of art, gardens and space. Boasting European treasures, intricate tilework and Steedman's own metalworking, Casa del Herrero ("house of the blacksmith") pays tribute to its owners' machinery industry. Relatively unchanged since its creation, the home now welcomes visitors to browse its exquisite grounds and interiors. Public tours are available from Mid-February through mid-November, with a small number of December dates allotted for visitors wishing to see the home dressed up in its holiday splendor. Reservations must be made in advance.
