Historic Victorian Garden & Backyard

About the Space

Step into a piece of California history! Our stunning 1891 Victorian estate, originally built by banker Mr. Roggenkamp, offers a truly cinematic setting surrounded by lush gardens and timeless architectural detail. Although filming and gatherings are limited to the outdoor areas only, the property’s Victorian façade, wraparound porch, and expansive grassy backyard provide a rich and authentic backdrop for your next shoot or intimate outdoor event. 🎬 Highlights: Period-perfect Victorian exterior with ornate woodwork, gingerbread trim, and copper downspouts Grand rounded front porch with classic columns and vintage details Spacious grassy backyard ideal for garden parties, photo shoots, or outdoor film scenes Dramatic rooflines and widow’s walks that add character and visual depth to exterior shots Beautiful mature landscaping surrounding the property, offering both open light and shaded areas While the listing is for backyard and exterior use only, guests can access the kitchen for prep and catering needs upon request. The home itself features exceptional craftsmanship, original woodworking, high ceilings, and unique period finishes — perfect for establishing or cutaway shots if needed with prior approval. 👻 Bonus Features (by arrangement): The property also contains a few “spooky” shootable spaces — including a Victorian attic and a raised foundation area — available upon special request for productions seeking a moody or historic aesthetic. 🏡 Ideal Uses: Film & TV productions Editorial or brand photography Garden gatherings, teas, or small outdoor celebrations Historic or vintage-themed shoots
