Nichole Court & Gardens
Louie the landscape architect, gardener and photographer
The Romantic, Old World, Italianate Gardens, designed and built by Louis Nichole along with the help and love of his 235 Italian relatives. Constructed in 1999 & 2006.
Blacktop Parking Lot for 800 cars transformed into
“Instant Italianate Gardens …just add water”
It was not the kind of residence one associates with buying you first home: a 19,,000 sq ft Country Club with 9/18 hole golf course, complete with blacktop parking for 800 cars, 3 large industrial catering kitchens, a banquet hall, a ballroom, 2 wall to wall bars ,6,000 pieces of china/glassware and silverware,150 lockers/ showers/ pro shop, 24 golf carts, double Olympic swimming pool, 60ft turret, 30 ft ceilings…… located on 190 acres at one of the highest points in CT with spectacular vistas…….. and a stream running through the basement.
Louie spent one year in Europe transporting 18th, 19th century European rooms from old castles and fitted them into the existing structure. He also transported 18th & 19th century garden gazebos, bronzes, fountains, arbors, ornamental hand wrought iron, gates, and statuary … in the hope of one day building a garden. That garden which began in 2000.
The original country club was transformed into a residence by Nichole, along with the help of his 235 Italian relatives, …. a home built with so much love.
