The nine-month-old babies are being raised in a gorgeous home spanning acres of land, which was built from scratch by Hilary and Philip. 

Discussing the property during an interview with Architectural Digest, Hilary wrote: "We found this 168-acre piece of land that was just magical. It just called to us and we couldn't stop thinking about it. It was great that we were in the middle of nature. We can't see our neighbors, no one for miles—we just had [it all] right there."
