The Grounds

Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters sits on over 400 acres of land. The area immediately surrounding the mansion is landscaped and is composed of well maintained lawns and charming gardens. Beyond that lies Breakstone Lake and miles of untouched woodlands.

The Hedge Maze

Originally inspired by intricate labyrinth designs of ancient times, hedge mazes were developed as a form of entertainment and artistic expression for the aristocracy. The maze offers leisurely amusement through navigational challenges.

The Stable

The barn on Xavier’s property had been many things over the years. In the mansion’s prime it was a carriage house and stable that held the finest animals and transportation the robber barons could afford. Then it was downgraded to stalling pleasure horses and for storage of a new Model T. By the time the expansive garage was built closer to the mansion every horse was gone and it became a place to store unwanted items. It became shabby enough to become a haunted house for Halloween and was eventually burned down during an attack on the mansion.

When Jean returned to the property as headmistress the stable was rebuilt and the first horses were purchased. Her justification for the expenditure was something along the lines of animal assisted therapy was beneficial to trauma patients but in reality it seemed like a personal desire to restore the mansion's grounds with something beautiful and serene. With the animals arrival a new chore has been added to the routine, stable duty. Students are expected to clean stalls, water the horses, and provide hay before riding any of the horses that are present.
