In 1998, the Knight family bought the property, totally ruined.
All buildings are destroyed and uninhabitable. Doors, windows, beams and even the floors were torn and looted … The park is unrecognizable, overgrown by trees, brambles and weeds. The statues adorning the park have been stolen, the basins are destroyed … The pool is covered with earth, broken trees and branches …
The Chevalier then undertake a long working full restoration of property: reconstruction of buildings one by one, electrification, well drilling, catering to the pool and the two basins, clearing driveways, felling dead trees and replacing it with new , reconstruction of all fences, etc …
Today, over 15 years later, we can say that “La Dulce” regained its former glory!
