The exotic plantings of shrubs, trees, and ground coverings throughout the property make it a true one-of-a-kind. It’s unique, with exquisite views and enchanting driveway-width trails that lead to Serenity Pond. There are multiple sitting areas that offer private, meditative sanctuaries, surrounded only by the sounds of nature: birds chirping, water rippling in the brook. This is a real treasure, featuring authentic stone retaining walls, stone bridge backwalls, two natural spring-fed ponds, and a cleared plateau (80' x 30') pre-leveled for a potential future build.

Continue up the gravel driveway to the circular drive and you'll find a luxurious red brick herringbone walkway leading to the main house and two patios. To the right is a flagstone sitting area; to the left, an oversized octagonal patio constructed with exotic wood decking and steel columns.
