600 Battles RD Gates Mills, OH 44040

Cleveland as many of us know, is steeped in a rich history of lavish beginnings & wealthy tycoons. Gates Mills, of course was the setting where some of the most prolific families dwelled, & this special home has seen more stories than we will ever know. By 1920s, wealthy Clevelanders attracted to the Valley by its natural beauty and spectacular views, began assembling property for their estates. In 60's the van Heeckerens renamed the estate Barlham Farms. The estate became a well-regarded breeding farm of dressage horses, which were of Olympic class. Recently, Barlham Farms was again sold to Roman Coppola, son of Francis Ford Coppola, father & son, vintners & movie producers.

This would include modern amenities, without losing the original Pre-War design & character. Your senses will awake not from one specific detail, but from something you really never see: a home
