Until 1831, the lands where the estate is located belonged to the landowner Sobakin, known for his manners and who became the prototype of Sobakevich from "Dead Souls." From the local history essays of N. S. Tolstoy, it is known that he would lie in a coffin in the middle of the village and force the peasants to mourn him. If anyone smiled, he would jump out of the coffin and start beating the peasants, saying: "This is how you mourn the landowner. Like this!".

In 1831, Moscow nobleman Nikolai Vasilyevich Levashev, a participant in the 1812 war and a retired guard lieutenant, purchased part of the villages and settlements from Sobakin to engage in the timber industry and build an estate. He was married to Ekaterina Gavrilovna, daughter of Gavriil Stepanovich Reshetov, and had six children: sons Anatoly, Nikolai, Valery, Vasily, and daughters Lydia and Emilia. In 1838, Emilia married Baron Andrei Ivanovich Delvig, and in 1839, Ekaterina Gavrilovna passed away. The following year, Lydia married Count Nikolai Sergeevich Tolstoy. To Emilia, Nikolai Sergeevich bequeathed the villages centered in Galibikha, and to Lydia, those centered in Bogorodsk.

The history of the estate began in 1839 when Andrei Ivanovich Delvig developed its project. He chose a location near the village of Galibikha, partially designed the park, and created the house's blueprint, as well as planted a strip of willow to strengthen the Vetluga bank. However, the project was not realized due to Nikolai Vasilyevich's change of mind regarding the division of property. In 1844, Levashev died, and the further history of the estate is associated with his son Valery Nikolayevich Levashev.

In 1861, Valery Nikolayevich, finding himself in Galibikha, took charge of the estate's affairs. Based on Delvig's sketches, he built a second house of the estate for his eldest son Vyacheslav, who was popularly nicknamed "Slavin." For another son, Valery, he built a one-story house with carvings near a ravine with a stream, called "Valery's House." From this house, a decorative bridge spanned the ravine, and on a wide clearing stood another estate house, "The White House." Initially, it was a double house connected by a glass passage, and one of the houses had an astronomical tower with a telescope. In 1949, this part of the house was moved to Voskresensk. "The White House" is also referred to as "Kondyrev's House," as it is believed that Valery Nikolayevich's daughter, Anastasia, lived there, whose husband was Ivan Pavlovich Kondyrev, who engaged in scientific research and wrote poetry.

Next to these buildings were a garden, vegetable garden, and greenhouse. The park collected a rich floral composition of tree and shrub species, including both local and imported varieties. Of particular value were 38 specimens of cedar, as well as Weymouth pine, Siberian larch, silver poplar, gray alder with dissected leaves, hawthorn, and columnar serviceberry.

Valery Nikolayevich devoted the rest of his life to family and charity for the peasants. Until his death in 1877, he often visited Galibikha. His sons, Vyacheslav and Valery, continued to live in his house. Valery Valeryevich and Vyacheslav Valeryevich Levashev became the last owners of the estate. Vyacheslav Valeryevich died in 1912 and was buried in the family crypt.

After the revolution, the estate's property was looted. In 1927, a gardening cooperative was established on its basis. Later, a collective farm, school, children's nursery, village council, post office, and reading hut were located here. In 1964, a district hospital was established in the stone building of the estate, and a rest house of the Gorky House of Scientists and the "Vetluga" tourist base were opened on its territory.

In 2008, the surroundings of the Levashev estate became part of the natural park "Voskresenskoye Povetluzhye." Currently, an art gallery "Noble Nest" is open in one of the estate's houses.
