Completed in 1890 after three years of meticulous construction, the home originally served as both the Bixby Family residence and the headquarters for their expansive ranching and real estate ventures. Wrapped entirely in hand-laid cedar shingles with gracefully flared rooflines, this three-story masterpiece blends timeless design with commanding presence. Inside, the grand entry hall boasts soaring ceilings and flows seamlessly into a series of dramatic, light-filled living spaces. The formal living and family rooms each feature impressive fireplaces and oversized leaded glass bay windows, bathing the interiors in natural light. The richly detailed billiard room is a showpiece in itself, with imported quarter-sawn White Oak coffered ceilings, custom cabinetry, a stately Emerald Green marble fireplace, and period lighting that exudes old-world elegance. At the heart of the home is the dining room, framed by a monumental bank of leaded glass windows and anchored by the original solid White Oak dining table, all with views of the lush grounds and a magnificent old-growth Magnolia tree. This storied residence has been home to prominent figures, includ
