As you wind your way up the driveway you pass by the tennis court, mature trees, perennial gardens, and massive rock outcroppings providing a sense of calm and serenity. The stewards of the environment designed and built this home to be one with the land. Continue up the drive and you are greeted by a sprawling slate roofed home reminiscent of an English Cotswold Cottage. Its prominent stone facade and windows are surrounded by stone patios and whimsical gardens. Enter the post and beam great room through the solid wood door with Rondell glass and enjoy the massive central stone fireplace that lends to gathering on cool nights in the custom wood paneled living room.
