It accesses the veranda and pool area plus the main lounge.
A Movie Star Estate Thanks to this estates unique country horse farm appearance and its grand country home, it has served as a setting in three major productions. In 2013 a scene from the Wolf of Wallstreet, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio with Rob Reiner (in the scene) was shot at the paddock. Two scenes from popular video series were also shot here. They included and hosted Lucy Lui in Elementary, and The Loudest Voice, starring Russell Crow, who lived in the manor for four months during shooting (according to the owner).
