The agreement specified that guests, including Trump, could not stay there for more than three non-consecutive weeks per year.{{Cite news|last=Roig-Franzia|first=Manuel|date=8 May 2020|title=Trump made Florida his official residence.

The grounds are accented with a formal garden pavilion, a fountain in the front lawn, a greenhouse and root cellar, and a stone water tower.

==Development plans ==
Trump originally planned to build a golf course on the property, but was opposed by the governments of the three municipalities the property lies within, and he wanted to avoid competing with his existing course nearby in Briarcliff Manor. He later explored renovating the two houses and redeveloping the rest of the property. He initially proposed to build 46 single-family houses which were also opposed by the communities. He then proposed to build 15 mansions he intended to sell for $25 million each; he abandoned this project after years of litigation.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/21/realestate/homes-by-and-for-donald-trump.html|title=Homes by (and for) Donald Trump|first=Elsa|last=Brenner|date=May 21, 2006|access-date=April 14, 2017|work=The New York Times}}
