"This Georgian-style home was built in 1911 by famed architect Robert D. Farquhar for the manager of Foothill Ranch, Charles Lindley, before being passed to pioneering educator, Mabelle Scott Anderson. In the spirit of great estates, the home is sheltered from the outside world by tall trees, green hedgerows and wrought iron gates. A curving loose-gravel driveway climbs to the stately two-story home, painted a cheery yellow with green shutters and white trim. Columns support a small dormered portico, and bushes along the perimeter add balance and color.
Opposite the house a wide expanse of lawn features a majestic cypress and a California Oak, and other foliage contributes to a lush garden ambiance. A private park elevated by a decorative stone foundation is a pretty backdrop for the dance floor, which is set with a canopy and twinkle lights. The Main Lawn has plenty of room for an elaborate reception and a lovely wedding ceremony.
Some brides continue the nostalgic theme by arriving in a horse-drawn carriage; but most often the bride and her attendants prepare upstairs in a Victorian-style dressing room. The bride descends the classic staircase in the Lindley-Scott foyer, then steps outside and follows a walkway between the trees to meet her groom at a storybook staging area—a pair of white picket fences with potted plants and flowers, bordering an arched arbor and a stained-glass inset. While the bridal party and family make use of the picturesque grounds for photos, the guests can stop and smell the roses in the Rose Garden to the right of the house. Another ceremony option is the adjacent Rose Lawn, accented by large Jacaranda trees situated around the perimeter of the lawn; but you’ll be all smiles if you use the fragrant blooms as a natural backdrop for your vow-taking.
This old estate has recently added “something new”: The magnificent Carriage House & Lawn. In a private area ringed with hedges and trees, a carpet of manicured grass is crowned by a white gazebo, a romantic setting for wedding ceremonies. Fashioned to coordinate with the main home, the Carriage House’s white-columned portico welcomes guests into its elegant interior. Formal receptions flourish in the lavish ballroom, where vintage-style chandeliers suspended from lofty ceilings illuminate the dining and dancing. A wall of French doors opens to a cozy patio that overlooks the beautifully landscaped grounds.
Unlike at some private estates, an event at Lindley-Scott House is “one-stop shopping”: everything you’ll need for a stylish reception is included in your wedding package, like choice of wedding cake and linen colors, even a keyboardist! All you will have to do is thank your guests for coming, and receive their enthusiastic compliments." SOURCE
