No it's real; see my other comment.
Yeah I meant they did go through with it, but it's not (yet) exactly like the plans show; they're still building most of the stuff around it.
This is a real picture
I'll happily believe that once I see where it came from. At the moment I still think it looks uncanny in a way but I may well be wrong.
Here's a page detailing the results of the restoration with plenty of other photos, including a higher resolution version of the photo in the post

Thank you! I looked around but hadn't found this.
It's a bit less idyllic at the moment since it's still winter but in the spring and summer it really does look like that.
Oh my god then shut up and go look it up. Good lord. "I won't believe this, despite multiple people confirming it, until whatever will make me believe it is spoon fed to me directly".
I did look for it, and if you had read a few comments further, you'd have seen I have been corrected.
these aren't plans tho, I'm pretty sure it's a real picture
