VISIT To CASTLE In The CLOUDS – After earning his fortune in the shoe industry at the turn of the 20th century, Tom Plant focused his attention on the Ossipee Mountains in Moultonborough, New Hampshire. In 1913-1914, Tom and his wife Olive built a unique and stunning country estate, which they called Lucknow. The property spanned 6,300 acres and featured a 16-room Arts and Crafts mansion, stable and six-car garage, two gatehouses, a greenhouse, a golf course and tennis court, a man-made lake, a boathouse on Lake Winnipesaukee, and miles of carriage and bridle trails. For several years the Plants enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle at Lucknow, with state-of-the-art amenities, beautiful hand-made furnishings, and a large staff to run the estate. Now is your opportunity to Experience this Castle in the Clouds. Enjoy truly breathtaking views from this spectacular turn-of-the-century sixteen-room Arts & Crafts mansion perched high on a pristine 5500-acre mountaintop estate overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee!
