Pine Mountain Lake community where the house is located is in the MOUNTAINS as the name suggests. Houses in the mountains are on slopes, often STEEEP slopes you cannot drive up in winter, when they are covered with ice or snow. In summer you scrape your car's bumpers and do other car damage in those houses' driveways.
The Quiet Retreat is on a lot with gentle slope, and has parking for 3 cars with no need to drive in reverse. Houses built on slopes are often several stores with dangerous steps. This house is on one level. Most houses in Groveland are decades old, and can have smells or 70's looks :) Ours was built in 2007, and is regularly updated ever since. Majority of the houses in PML are subject to some traffic and noise. We have more deer and wild turkeys traffic than people and cars combined.
