Tourist TRAP ALERT. Yes, it's a nice property .. BUT if you're going to charge people $17/ea to just drive in through the gate in order to see the gardens it better be good; which it's not - just mediocre. You need to shell out 34 if you want to tour the mansion as well. Big touring companies get free entry or huge discounts I suspect to lure in the crowds. If you're driving yourself I suggest you give this a miss and head to the Botanical gardens instead (which are better and free). You get better views from the road outside anyway. Hugely disappointing.
