PROPERTY
TWIN PONDS - The experience begins as you turn off the charming country road and arrive at the private, electronic gates. With 46 private acres to explore, you'll never be at a loss for activity. The island is accessed by two bridges, one for walking (or diving into 2 acres of spring-fed fresh water) and the other for driving over. In the summer, you'll have paddleboards, kayaks and a paddle boat to use. On the island is a small beach area where you can wade gently into the water. There is a large, rustic fire pit close to the northern pond; ideal for cookouts and campfires. On the main deck (where you'll find the outdoor kitchen/barbecue) there is a second fire pit, surrounded by a comfy sofa and chairs. The perfect spot to enjoy drinks and sunset at the end of a busy day. The estate enjoys full western exposure with stunning sunsets from one of the two docks. In addition to the main deck and docks, there is also a screened porch where you can serve dinner for 8, or take a nap on one of the two sofas.
