The estate is composed of a series of gardens over 99 acres, ranging from a woodland setting with ponds to formal gardens and marshlands. It incorporates a series of ponds and waterfalls, lawns, and both walled and terraced gardens. There is also a Japanese garden. The original design of the estate, known as Thorneham, was planned by Vitale and Geiffert ca. 1925. Umberto Innocenti of Innocenti & Webel completed the plantings ca. 1930. After the death of Julia Stimpson Thorne in 1974, the estate was turned into a residential community of 159 town homes and one free-standing home from the original estate. The central "core" gardens and landscaping were retained.
