Hill Top House
River Hills, WI
This fifteen-acre estate is composed of interconnecting pathways circumnavigating the property, manmade ponds and a recirculating stream, parterre, fountain and sculpture gardens, and woodland gardens colonized by ferns, lilies, wild geranium, ginger, sweet woodruff, and spring ephemerals. The 1929 English Georgian-style residence sits hilltop, overlooking five acres of manicured lawn irrigated with water from one of the two ponds. Formally clipped evergreen hedges define the foundation gardens and terraces, as well as the pea gravel pathways and circular drive. The numerous tree, shrub and perennial species throughout the property make for enchanting surprises every step of the way.
Please note: This property requires extensive walking (estimated at 1 mile) including an approximately 1,200-foot paved driveway to the house and formal gardens. The garden is situated on 15 acres, and visitors should expect uneven terrain and unpaved paths.
