Lor Estate and Villa
The Lor Estate is a study in quiet wealth. White stone walls and pared back gardens frame a house that values order, privacy, and time. The matriarch keeps a steady hand on the bank and the estate, even as the family line draws thin.
Sun presses warm light into cloisters and herb courts. The south belvedere is open for air and view, with a simple bench set for two.
Herb lawns and espaliered fruit hug the walls. A shaded cloister leads to a reading court with a single fountain and stone seats. The plant list favors useful over showy.
Rooms are proportioned for comfort rather than display. A ledger room looks onto the garden for calm. The family chapel is plain and bright.
Long serving staff know every routine. The steward keeps keys on a silver ring that never leaves the belt. Guards are few but loyal and alert.
Select private banking ensures steady revenue. Long ties with old families keep the house in every serious conversation even without an heir.
