Perhaps the best-designed area of the home, the sprawling office boasts high ceilings and expansive windows that make the gardens appear within reach.

Built in 1961, the 2,864-square-foot limestone-brick estate with four bedrooms and two baths draws from Courtenay Macomber’s fascination with the famous architect Le Corbusier and his modular approach to design.

Few homes on the market now will top the sprawling orientation of architect David Snapp’s main living spaces.

But even with these stately features, perhaps the most costly details were the lavish imported fixtures and finishes, such as the dining room’s $24,000 Venini chandelier and silver-leaf ceiling.

Gardening enthusiasts from across the country have toured the estate for years, drawn to its exquisite design and one-of-a-kind plant collection that showcases rare varieties native to Japan and China.
