The photo gallery will provide a sneak preview of its impeccable barn (designed by original owner), detached garage with a game room above, a well-crafted two-story building that could be a generous guest house, and two rustic garden sheds that Martha Stewart would love! Fenced spaces were carefully designed and nurtured for gardening: Kitchen, Sculpture, Flower and Nursery. The salt-water pool and small pool house for refreshments, water side gazebo and a perfectly designed regulation bocce court grace the property's waterside. The just built dock, with two power lifts, is in addition to a deeded premium slip at the recently rebuilt community dock. Deer privileges for owners and friends only and a duck blind too!
