A Home of Grand Scale
More than 40,000 square feet
Villa Collina was designed to impress at every turn. Inspired by Italian architecture — its name translates to “hill house” — the riverfront estate stretched across roughly 40,250 square feet, with 86 rooms arranged over multiple levels. From its grand entry to its waterfront vistas, the home blended European elegance with the comforts and technology of a modern luxury residence.
It was, by any measure, extraordinary: not merely a large house, but a fully realized estate with the features of a private resort.
