THE SETTING/ACREAGE
The most striking feature of the 24 acre estate is perhaps the 5-acre lake that graces the front lawn. A winding quarter mile lighted asphalt drive leads from the gated entry past a natural wet land to the residence on the east edge of the property and to the barn on the north end. The perimeter is fenced with the exception of the back 4-acres.
FRONT LAWN: The front lawn makes the most of the beautiful spring-fed 5-acre lake, stocked with big mouth bass. The sweeping lawn includes a brick terrace and patio/sitting area with 4-tiered fountain and concrete benches. A bricked sidewalk leads to the homes entry.
BACK YARD: Perfect for entertaining large groups or small, the backyard has multiple brick & concrete patios for gathering, eating or relaxing. Woods along the east and tall fir trees along the north provide privacy. A raised party deck is nestled in the wooded portion of the yard with a play area and substantial wood swing set nearby.
POOL: 30x15 rectangular Roman End inground heated pool. Gunite surface with vinyl liner (used one summer). Features brick-trimmed concrete deck and attached pavestone patio area. An attractive wrought iron fence with security gate surrounds the pool area.
