This aquatic paradise stretches out 28 feet long by 12 feet wide with depths ranging from 6 inches on the tanning ledge to 6 foot in the deep end. Equipped with an oversized pool heater and an all-natural salt cell, this watery oasis promises year-round comfort and endless fun.
Fire up the propane grill to sizzle some burgers while the children’s imaginations run wild, climbing and swinging like their favorite action hero on the brand-new playground.
Step beyond the pool patio and discover a genuine tropical paradise surrounded by a 6-foot tall privacy fence and tropical lush landscaping.
For those looking to up the ante on fun, the private pickleball court, mini-golf course and outdoor bowling lane presents a unique opportunity to gain a competitive edge.
When it's time to escape the sun's rays, settle into the outdoor sofa on the covered patio while you relax and unwind in the shade, savoring a moment of tranquility.
