Outdoor Space
The front garden has a magical garden on One Mile Creek and is a wonderful place to curl up by the fire, cook a meal and relax on Adirondack chairs layered with sheepskin. There is a place to dine here as well. Prepare to observe the deer amble across the perennial garden or the passing horse-drawn carriage. A romantic location for a proposal might be the gazebo in the garden. A bridge across the creek and an old split rail fence surrounds the front.
The rear garden has relaxing sectional and dining area, with a pizza oven and barbecue. In addition to being very private, the backyard is beautiful.
New hot tub in the backyard as well.
