We purchased the acreage in the 1970s, we are now in our 70s. The plan now is to sell this home that we have enjoyed for a number of years and move to another phase of our lives.  This is the predominant reason for leaving this home and community we care so much about.  We would hope the property serves the new owner as it has us.

The home was designed for the location and the elements of the four seasons, the country life style and entertaining family and friends.  The home was built by the most reputable builder in  the area and  materials hand selected by him to meet job specs.  Projects that have involved structure has been done my licensed contractors.  Now, almost thirty years later, with good maintance the new has not worn off and the home has features not seen in other houses.  We will be proud to turn over a quality product to the new owners.
