Explore Rough Point, the exquisite English Manor home of legendary Newport resident and heiress Doris Duke. A visit of the property reveals priceless treasures, spectacular grounds, lush gardens and sweeping ocean views. Board your transportation for a scenic drive to the Rough Point estate. Built by Frederick W. Vanderbilt in 1889 on a windswept promontory overlooking the Atlantic, Duke's father purchased the home in 1922 from the widow of railroad magnate William Leeds for less than $200,000. He then spent $700,000 enlarging the house to 105 magnificent rooms. Preserved with Duke's original furnishings, the home showcases her extraordinary collection of European art, French furniture, Turkish carpets and Chinese artifacts. What sets this tour apart is that until 1993, Duke occupied the home, and the rooms feel very real and lived-in. Although opulent, there is a sense of hominess. A scenic drive back to port completes the day.
