Blithewold is a 33-acre summer estate of the Van Wickle family with grand views of Narragansett Bay.  Originally purchased in 1894 and rebuilt in 1907 after a fire destroyed the original mansion, the property features a 45-room mansion filled with family heirlooms, and is framed by a series of lovely gardens that range in character from mysterious to exotic and from poetic to practical.  An exceptional collection of rare and unusual plants, trees, an accessible greenhouse, and whimsical stonework project a character that is romantic, fresh, and inspiring – and unique to Blithewold.
