This 20-acre estate features a Georgian Revival mansion designed in the 1920s by Julian Peabody of Peabody, Wilson & Brown, and original grounds by the influential landscape architect Ellen Shipman. The project began in 1998 and included new plantings throughout the property, and the addition of a forecourt, terraces, a pond, and restoration of a formal garden. Understory planting of ornamental grasses, groundcovers, and perennials beneath canopy trees surrounding the site’s lawn facilitates the transition between the highly manicured garden and encompassing forest.
