Thoughtfully designed with separate shallow and swim/game depth sections and surrounded by a 44' x 76' foot tumbled stone patio with a built in outdoor bar and firepit, this is the backdrop you have always wanted to entertain in. Last but not least is the 30' x 22' foot garage with volume ceilings and 8 foot doors, offering plenty of room to accommodate today-sized vehicles.
