The walk-out basement is currently unfinished, but does have insulation and two fuel sources (propane and pellet), so if you ever needed more space, there’s room to expand. A spacious wraparound deck completes the main house.

The roof of this building also is home to a unique fountain which feeds the 5,000 gallon koi pond. Next is a large shed for storing all your gardening tools.

The grounds also offer four fenced in paddocks (two with lean-tos), a former arena, pigeon cote, and an additional storage barn. Multiple sitting and gardening areas are dotted throughout the property and it borders a scenic wetland which supplies the nesting bald eagle pair with plenty of food and you with plenty of views.
