Epping Forest (Jacksonville)

It was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and has been restored to its original grandeur as the home of the Epping Forest Yacht Club.

The location Alfred chose for their permanent home was at Christopher Point, the widest spot on the St. Johns River, which provided an excellent area for his favorite pastime, yachting on his beloved 125 ft 5 in (38.2 m) Nenemoosha, built in 1922.

Jessie selected the furnishings; Alfred designed the formal English gardens and lion's head fountain.

The 11⅓ acres occupied by the mansion, gardens, boathouse and riverfront were restored to their original splendor and transformed into the Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club.

The remaining property was developed into a gated community of ninety $1 million homes and 80 condominiums under the Epping Forest name.
