Other things to note
This is our family home and while we are now mostly empty nesters, friends and family do come and go. If you want total privacy or to be secluded in the forest, this is not the place for you. If you want to be close to town, appreciate contemporary architecture and art and modern accessories and want to hear more about the community and places to eat, shop, walk, hike, ride or see a show, we are your perfect hosts!
