At the heart of this property is the original Tudor style home that occupied the grounds of the former Stonecroft estate. The home was built by industrialist and glass pioneer William S. Walbridge and his wife Alice Libbey in 1907. The house is positioned within deep ravines and a stream, featuring a large patio in the rear that overlooks the Maumee River. The entrance to the home is across a small stone bridge.The ravines and formal gardens were designed by landscape architect William Pitkin, Jr.
A winding stone path leads into the ravine surrounded by over 100 new trees and shrubs that have been added to enhance the tranquility of the property. Spring bulbs and wildflowers are scattered across the hillside. At the top of the stone path one is met with a panoramic view of the Maumee River. The path continues to a large formal Croquet Court Terrace Garden that is complimented by a stone wall and surrounded by peonies, hostas, climbing hydrangeas, hibiscus and lilies in white, pink, silver, and green. Several stone benches are located around the outer edge of the stone wall to accompany visitors. A major feature of the property is a collection of three large "Sylvic Spheres" by artists Flora Mace and Joey Kirkpatrick that decorate the front lawn.

Scope and Contents:
The folder includes a worksheet and garden plan.
General:
The present owners purchased seven acres of land bordering native cranberry bogs under cultivation. The property was layered with clay and surrounded on two sides by a hardwood forest (unique on Nantucket). After completing the house construction, the owners surrounded the rear with an 8 foot deep pond landscaped with native bayberry and pine; and stocked the pond with koi. A 100x100 foot sunken garden with croquet court exists off the guest wing. This garden is surrounded by a wood lattice fence ending in an arched arbor walk entered through four moongates. Roses, perennials, annuals, and sculpted arborvitae and boxwood fill the borders and cover the fencing. A privet maze surrounds a Grandiflora magnolia outside the garden and leads to a swimming pool area. Terraces in random cut bluestone surround a dark granite pool. A native fern forest grows beneath tupelos in the nearby wetlands. The garden won the Hunnewell gold medal from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for outstanding design on an estate over seven acres in 1993.
Persons associated with the property include: Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Robert (former owners, 1983-2000); Hoen Meier (landscape designer, 1983-1988); Edward Knowles (architect, 1983-1990); Leonard Campanale (gardener/designer, 1988-2003); and Larry Schuck (builder of arbor and fence).
