Stately Live Oaks, longleaf pines, and flowering trees and plants lovingly tended in mulched beds or on trellises guarantee that something is always in bloom and edible. Statuaries, birdfeeders, and hand-crafted tilework, walkways, wooden flooring and collectables dazzle at every turn in the buildings and along walkways. This is a magical property that has good karma. It is scented with ginger, orange blossom, and jasmine that attract butterflies and wildlife, and would be ideal for community living, retirement, extended family, art studios, AirBnb units, recreation, or a cottage industry.
