What is #MyPemberley?
#MyPemberley seeks to celebrate the differences of our versions of the fabled estate as we fangirl (or fanboy) over Mr. Darcy's home. After all, it was seeing Pemberley that made Elizabeth Bennet first think that being Fitzwilliam Darcy's wife might be something indeed.
Amy George's Pemberley
from The Sweetest Ruin
Pemberley doesn't appear in “The Sweetest Ruin” per se, but it didn't stop me from imagining it. In this instance, Pemberley is nestled at the foot of the Spring Mountains on the west side of Las Vegas, Nevada.
What I Love About This Home
Rustic but Grand
It is a custom built “cabin” fit for a king and his queen. This rustic but grand version of Pemberley was built by the Darcys for the time they spend in the states with their friends and, eventually, their children.
Features
- It's grand without being pretentious.
- It's simple but elegant.
- It's homey while being sophisticated.
- It's a place of love and magic, just like any tale that tells the story of Darcy & Elizabeth.

Spring Mountains Info:
The Spring Mountains National Recreational Area makes up most of the land of the Mountain Range within the Humboldt-Taiyobe National Forest and the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
Those lucky to have that view can rest assured it will remain undeveloped.
This mountain range is named for the number of natural springs that pepper its range.
Las Vegas is located in the basin of the Mojave Desert making it one of the sunniest, and driest, places in the US.

What an absolutely gorgeous place. I can just picture Darcy and Elizabeth with a brood of children (their own or adopted) living happily in this lovely welcoming looking home.

Lovely version of the “country home” for the rich and famous in Nevada.
