About the Home

The spacious bedrooms and bathrooms offer stunning views, ensuring comfort and luxury. Additionally, a delightful guest apartment and wine cellar are located above the detached garage. Experience the epitome of refined living by dining al fresco, lounging by the pool, playing a game of bocce, tending to the garden, or relaxing on one of the many inviting porches. At "Rose Hill," every moment feels like a step back in time to an era when life was lived to its fullest.
