    Art collector Donald Head


    Simply Grand

    Donald Head restored Grandview Ranch to the echoes of its past, bringing his vast art collection to adorn its rooms


    In the Saratoga Hills is an estate that is full of such sweeping vistas and fantastic art treasures from all over the world that it's hard to believe it is real. Grandview Ranch is the name of the estate and Donald Head is its owner. It encompasses 25 acres, includes a 22-room main house and several outer buildings. There are two swimming pools, a tennis court, a six-car garage, an award-winning camellia garden, an orchard, a pool house, a workshop, a painting studio and two painting galleries. These last two, plus the main house, are chockablock full of the Head collection.   More
