What The Owner Says

We have loved living here for the past nine years and have especially enjoyed adding the generous kitchen, which truly feels like the heart of the home. We have hosted many wonderful gatherings here, entertaining family and friends on countless memorable occasions. It is a truly special location, so tranquil, immersed in nature, and we will dearly miss the incredible variety of wildlife that surrounds us. However, we have made the decision to relocate to be closer to family and now look forward to another family enjoying everything this exceptional home has to offer.
