The Roth Estate

Located two miles from historical Nevada City, California, your guests enter thirteen enchanting acres of God's Country.

Transformed from a Gold Rush mining camp, the estate was developed, across thirty-plus years, by garden designer Jan Roth, who feels adamant about working around what nature has already put into place - in this case, Cedars, Pines, Firs, Madrones, Manzanita, along with myriad native plants and flowers. The beauty of such natural flora, provides a stunning backdrop for the many "garden rooms" Jan has fashioned in three unique venues: The Rose Garden, The Wedding Garden, and The Party Pad.

Truly a garden paradise ~ the most colorful wedding venue in Nevada County!

At an elevation of 3,000 feet, the estate reflects four distinct seasons with ever-changing colors, textures, and hues throughout. Our high foothills' weather patterns allow us to offer the gardens for public use only from mid-May through October, even though our staff works year-round to maintain them.
