Buttonwood Farm dates back to 1770 and was the homestead of Lt. John Waterbury and his family. A new house was built on the 2.4 acre property and attached to the original colonial to extend the footprint. When the new owner moved in, they wanted to address the landscape. The goal was to create a design focused on a fresh, crisp look that respected the property’s traditional context while infusing modern farmhouse elements. Mature legacy trees have been carefully maintained and considered throughout the design process. The master plan is being implemented in phases.

Design elements included rear patios for dining and conversation, fire pit, play area, site re-grading for drainage improvements, outdoor lighting, future pool area, enclosed potager and cutting garden, garden rooms and ornamental plants throughout.

This property is being maintained organically.
