Highlights You’ll Love:
Private outdoor recreation — Enjoy your own 5-hole putting green, pickleball court, basketball court, and frisbee golf. There's plenty to keep everyone moving and having fun right in the backyard.
Private hot tub & fire pit — Make the most of cool fall evenings around your private fire pit, then warm up in the hot tub afterward. Gather around the fire with a drink, roast marshmallows, share stories, or simply enjoy a quiet evening under the stars. With a fully fenced, landscaped yard and nearly 2/3 of an acre of private outdoor space, there's plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the evening together.
