description: The Harold Lloyd estate, also known as Green Acres, was a 15-acre property with golf course, swimming pool, 900 foot long canoe racing area, handball court, and many additional outbuildings and features. Hanson designed all of the landscape features, and worked with architect Sumner Spaulding on the placement of the Tuscany-style house on the grounds.

The estate was then subdivided into multiple lots and sold off.
