This house is where we raised our five children. It has a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. We call it Whippoorwill Hill because in the spring you can hear the Whippoorwill's sing in the evening.(Actually they are "Chuck Will's Widow" which is what the song sounds like. We try to keep some corn on the front porch. You can throw a little out and the deer will really come. Do not try to pet or touch the deer, however.
There is almost always a great breeze. The backyard is fenced for children and pets. You will see deer grazing in the area. The stargazing in the front yard is great. There is a beautiful creek bottom nearby (Tom Creek) for hiking and birdwatching. There is a basic backyard fire pit area. The backyard is fenced. High speed internet wireless is available. The house is in a small gated community.
