The house and outbuildings date from 1750. The owners wanted the aesthetic of the renovated main house to apply to the landscape improvements. The design program for the landscape included a new entry drive and arrival court, rain gardens to collect water from the main house, and a vegetable garden.
The original design approach aimed to keep all of the character-defining features of the landscape including the root cellar mound, a handful of scattered boulders, numerous stonewalls, signature trees, and the rolling topography.
Over the years, the numerous outbuildings have been re-purposed as guest quarters, studios, and other domestic rather than farm uses. Retaining linkages between these structures was also an important part of the program.
