A breathtaking collection of rare trees, specimen plantings, and lush gardens surrounds 3 lake-fed waterfalls, meandering streams, charming footbridges and winding pathways, creating an enchanting private retreat unlike anything else.

Additional botanical highlights include majestic bald cypress, magnolias, birch trees, and an extensive collection of distinctive plantings.

The upper level provides exceptional flexibility with a private bedroom, deep walk in closet, full bath, sitting room w/ lake views, kitchen area with hookups for an electric stove and refrigerator—ideal for extended family, guests, or a private retreat.
