The first time Fabiola Spooner saw the beautiful 500-year-old oak trees on the Central Florida Victorian estate, she had a vision. She and her husband Peter, an architect, were looking for something special, a project to call their own.
That’s when she fell in love with the history and potential of New Smyrna’s longest-standing structure. Along with the extended Spooner family, Fabiola and Peter spent 17 months reviving the historic property into Victoria 1883, a modern bed and breakfast and wedding venue, which opened in 2022.
