Homes & Estates

The Woodlands earns its name due to the way in which the property coexists with its natural surroundings. Indeed, abundant wildlife — including red-tailed foxes and Canadian geese — and acres of mature native oak and walnut trees are defining features of the former hunting property.

livability of the dual islands and adjoining hearth and family rooms. The entire estate was designed to be comfort- able within its grand scale, but has the entertainment potential for the largest formal events. On the fully fin- ished lower level, recreational and gathering space accommodates a game room, family room, wet bar and wine room. Outside, “The estate is laid out exquisitely, with exceptional gardens, waterfall, pond and beauti- ful pool,” says Ryan. “The pool house has its own covered living room, kitchen, two baths and laundry, plus a tennis court, a lighted greenhouse with dining area, kitchen and herb and vegetable garden, and a carriage house with apartment. On the brick terrace, surrounded by mature trees and lush gardens, you feel transported. The rose garden on the east side of the house is multi-tiered and very dramatic, and there’s a great view from the living room and master bedroom. French doors open from the primary rooms to stone terraces for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. It’s just a really exceptional property.”
