The land surrounding the Wilderstein house was first purchased by Thomas Holy Suckley in 1852, because his wife, Catherine Murray Bowne, wanted a building site with striking natural features. The cedar and evergreen trees on the property gave the couple the connection to nature they were looking for.

On another note: I love Houzz but don't understand why those who comment think others care about whether rooms are decorated in 'their style' or not. If you don't like it, just move on and spare us the negativity. It's just rude.
The centerpiece on the dining room table is a bit overdone, but other than that it was lovely.
And I love the ornaments on the floor in the salon. Completely impractical but whimsical and creative. Actually I like that in places they have just artfully piled ornaments.
And if you think saying "not my style" on houzz is rude and inappropriate:
1) You must be new.
2) You are missing the point - or at least much of the fun.
I love the vignette in the room with the polar bears "decorating" the tree. The ornaments on the floor is a novel idea, but I can imagine what my two German Shepherds would do with that! LOL!
Especially since I've been on the receiving end of some unsolicited advice and criticism here lately. ;^)
That said, if you are professional designer, doing work with the intention of showing off your skill and aesthetic, you are sort of opening yourself up to the criticism as well as kudos. However, I myself will aspire to be kinder and gentler in the future.
