Sitting on an oversized 11,000+ square foot lot, the outdoor space invites you to dream big—whether that's cultivating a lush garden, hosting summer dinners under the stars, or simply relaxing in your private oasis. Adventure is nearby too, with hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails just around the corner.
