This 600 acre private estate is located in central Ohio. Sited amidst farmland, meadows, hedgerows and woods, the Georgian style mansion is secluded in a timeless pastoral landscape. Site features, visible from the driveway via a wooden bridge, include a restored schoolhouse, barns, and riding stable. The main house precinct is organized around strong north-south and east -west axes. These axial relationships originate at the oval entry court and radiate throughout the entire site, in tradition Italian Renaissance villa style. The building's scale and the articulation of its facades, define a series of gardens, terraces, and other site features which relate to rooms within the house as well as to outside views to fields and woodlands. The south terrace's ivy parterres and formal boxwood planting extends the architecture of the building outdoors to overlook the canal. A stone ha-ha wall beyond the canal allows an uninterrupted view to the meadow. At the east end of the canal is a stone overlook built from salvaged stone block, and at the west end, secluded in the woods, is a circular stone paved source pool. Planting throughout the site utilizes native species in architectural allees and bosques near the house, and returns to more naturalized plantings as the site moves from the architectural to the agricultural. North of the house, is an orchard of 700 semi mature apple trees. The orchard flanks the central north-south allee - a 1200 foot plantation of sycamores - which links the site to The Rotunda, the companion estate to the north. On the east axis is a barn, stable, and greenhouse.
