The orchard adjoins the Upper Regular Park and is separated from it by a fence. Most likely, an orchard has existed on this site since the foundation of the estate. AT orchard apple and cherry trees grow, the flowering of which greatly decorates the garden in spring.

The front yard of the estate, or parterre, occupies a central place in front of the Big House. It was formed at the beginning of the 19th century, when the Golitsyns owned the estate.

According to the Yaroslavl culturologist Vyacheslav Letin, “the basis of the composition of Karabikha was the principle of the Kabbalistic symbol of the Tree of Life, or the Tree of Sephiroth. The meaning of this symbol is spiritual growth, comprehension of the world from the first idea to the world of physical forms. "Wonderful tree" borrowed by Masons from Kabbalah. It became one of the concepts of their teaching, which originated in England at the beginning of the 18th century. Sephiroth consists of ten balls of "radiant splendor", which are strung on three vertical axes. The tree also has a horizontal division. Each of its four tiers is equal to one stage of the creation of the world. In the space of Karabikha, each tier (sephirah) corresponds to a specific object or place of the ensemble. Wherein functional value object is cleverly played up from the point of view symbolic meaning the sephirah corresponding to it.

The front yard at the time of the Nekrasovs was a semicircle, divided into two parts by a road leading to the greenhouse. Symmetrically relative to the road there are two large round flower beds, to which paths led. Central road, paths leading to the flower beds, and leading along the fence were bordered by flower beds.

On the territory of the Lower Park there are two ponds of artificial origin - Upper and Lower, connected by the Gremikha stream. In the northern part of the Lower Park, on the slope of the ravine, is located small pond with an island. Ponds with an island in the middle were popular because they created additional features for relax. The shores were planted with trees, which, growing, shaded the surface of the water and almost blocked the sky above. Water flows into the Upper Pond continuously from the springs, which flow in abundance in the upper reaches of the ravine. Excess water over stones in the form of a small waterfall fell noisily to the bottom of the ravine and flowed in a stream into the Lower Pond.

There are many mature trees growing on the estate. One of them has been officially assigned the status of a natural monument of all-Russian significance within the framework of the All-Russian program "Trees - Monuments of Wildlife". This is a small-leaved linden (No. 16), growing in the western part of the front courtyard of the Karabikha estate. In 2014, the tree was examined by experts from the Center for Wood Expertise of the Healthy Forest NSA (Moscow) and found that its age is 235 years.

In 2003, director Kirill Serebrennikov listened to several scenes of the film "Ragin" in the Karabikha estate - based on the story "Ward No. 6" by A.P. Chekhov.
