The view no other estate in the region has.
The deck is built out over the fall of the land, so the valley drops away beneath the rail and the mountain fills everything beyond it. It is where cocktails are poured after the ceremony — or where the ceremony itself is held, at the rail, with the mountain for a backdrop — where the first look tends to happen in the morning, and where the wedding party ends up whenever nobody has told them where to be.
Guests walk here from the meadow. It is a thousand feet, the longest walk of the whole weekend, and it goes uphill toward the light — which is the point. Nobody is shuttled, nobody is released in groups, and nobody is looking for their keys.
