Extraordinary formal English four-quadrant perennial garden with centerpiece fountain, defined by manicured yew and boxwood hedges and fully fenced, is a work of art with its well-curated continuous seasonal blooms, a magical site adjacent to the expansive pool entertaining area. The garden offers a magnificent profusion of perennial color and variety from May through September. Tulips and nepeta surround the center fountain, while the four quadrants overflow with mature flowering shrubs and plants, including hydrangeas, peonies, daisies, cone flowers, irises, lupines and phlox. A stone pathway leads to a secret garden featuring exceptional magnolia trees and a stone bench for quiet contemplation. Separately, a large, raised bed, fully fenced vegetable garden offers wonderful opportunities for garden-to-table dining.
Expansive grounds offer complete privacy and feature mature trees and shrubs throughout that are regularly pruned and fertilized, including century-old towering beech trees at the front of the Main House and oak tree offering shade for the tennis court. Additional tree species include Kwanzan cherry trees lining the main drive, weeping cherry, dogwood, Japanese maples, including a very special Tamukeyama cutleaf, pear, holly, blue spruce, fir, hemlock, magnolia, hickory, cedar, ash, maple, mulberry, Norway maple, and plum.
