THE GARDENS

Gated and hedged for privacy, the entertainer's dream backyard is perfect for connecting with nature year-round.

Enjoy the firepit & grill from its own seating area on the downstairs patio, or take a stroll in the garden: harmonious landscaping with gorgeous perennial blooms, fruit trees and shrubs typical for the country, from apples and pears to quince, raspberries and strawberries enable you to enjoy your very own produce spring through autumn.

Lush Bamboo flanks the garden on one side, evergreen trees on the other for a year-round feeling of privacy.

The carefully considered landscape architecture brings to mind an English garden. Paved paths run the length of the grounds for easy meandering and picking of fruits, flowers and herbs, and a hidden, timed sprinkler system waters the greenery according to need, so tending is kept to a minimum.

A powder of snow covers the garden in winter, when the evergreen trees make the grounds feel like an enchanted forest. In the springtime, the fauna of the area visit the garden, from a wide variety of birds, butterflies and lizards to hedgehogs, foxes, dragonflies or the otherwise exceedingly rare stag beetle.
