Drone view of The Grand Lady: the 1881 mansion, courtyards, flower farm and reception hall among oak trees

Commercial, TV & film

A filming and commercial photo location near Austin

The Grand Lady gives your production four looks on one property: a restored 1881 mansion, a bright modern reception hall, a half-acre flower farm and 20 acres of oak trees. We're in Manor, about 25 minutes east of downtown Austin, so your crew spends the day shooting, not driving between locations.

Room for the whole production

Parking for 75 to 100 vehicles, with plenty of space for crew cars and production trucks.

A hall that becomes anything

3,400 sq ft of open, climate-controlled space with floor-to-ceiling windows. Build a set in it, or use it for basecamp and catering.

Lots of backgrounds

A historic house, a modern hall, open grounds and a flower garden, all a short walk apart.

Multi-day shoots

Long rental days, multi-day shoots, and time to prep and wrap are all welcome.
