First there is a wooded hill, up to 665 feet above sea level, which is very high by Orange County standards, with an attractive gravel drive wandering through big trees, and an intermittent stream border and several beautiful buildings. At the very top of the hill is the main house, a small hand-built two-story bungalow with an open living space filled with light and good views, including dining area and tidy kitchen, a handsome bath and a back deck. Upstairs is a large bedroom and one of the great joys of the whole property, a 16X17 ft. screened sleeping balcony overlooking the land. The second building is a one-bedroom log cabin/studio with gorgeous bath and a screen porch. A place for guests, or rest, or work amongst beautiful surroundings. The 3rd building is a wonder, a workhouse, a sculptor's studio with garage bay doors, a solid floor, good light. Beautiful. Take a look at the pictures. Besides this treasure there are two storage buildings, a woodshed pole barn, a stone and wood wellhouse. (It's a very good well.) And then there is the community itself, ELG, the Environmental Land Group, one of the first eco-protective subdivisions in the region, with large private lots, 50 acres in common, a community pond for fishing and swimming, walking trails and more. A real neighborhood. You might like living here. Come and see.
