Remember that old TV show Dynasty from the 1980's? The Carrington mansion, ostensibly in Denver, CO is really a house in California about 30 miles south of San Francisco.... It's called the Filoli Mansion. I was on the grounds a few days ago taking photos... The gardens out back are huge and beautiful. If you are ever in the Bay Area you should check it out ... I bring all my visitors from out of town there and they always love it!
Exteriors of the house & grounds have been used in more than a dozen TV shows and movies... a list of them all is in the foyer of the mansion.
They even have a wedding pavilion on the grounds that you can rent for your special day.
Alexis and Blake are never home when I visit but listen to this you tube clip as you enjoy these photos
At 1:22 in this second clip you some great shots of Filoli
