While the home is a warm and inviting place to spend time, the best place to do so would be enjoying the grounds and equestrian amenities. Horses are kept safe and comfortable in the fenced pastures with shade trees and a run-in shed or in the 6 stall barn. A turn-out paddock on each side of the barn is ideal for mare and foal. Dutch doors from a stall ensure escape from the weather if needed and a comfortable place to lie down and rest for the babies. Automatic waterers in the pastures provide a convenience to the owner and unlimited supply of fresh water for the farm animals. An in-law/guest house and a caretakers home round out this estate. All is conveniently located to town, shopping and dining.
