Gorgeous Quiet Natural Setting

In the cooler season, savor the gorgeous soapstone wood stove, gently warming the house on winter nights long after the fire dies down.

The peaceful quiet is enriched by the healing sounds of nature—from the soothing song of the creek to birdsong and owl calls.

Striking Instagram-worthy natural beauty surrounds you in every season of the year. As you make your home here, you’ll enjoy shady summers, brilliant colorful autumns, sunny winters, and blossom-filled springs.

Native dogwood trees encircle the yard, surrounded by maple, oak, sourwood, and tulip poplar—as well as specimen trees including mulberry, chasteberry, weeping cherry, yew and a great-grandmother holly.
