As we move on to spend more time at our main home in Florida, I will remember our time here fondly. We wish the new owners well. It truly is an incredible estate.”

Knowing the auction will attract a whole new crop of potential buyers who will appreciate these unique attributes is exciting.”
“I fell in love with this house 20 years ago because of its build quality and multi-seasonal, multi-generational capabilities,” added Roger Marriott, who is selling the home with his wife, Jan. “Summers here welcome fly fishing in the river, swimming and boating in the lake, and tennis. Winters are all about fireplaces, cozy nooks, and the indoor pool. When we bought the property, our sons were in their early twenties. Two great weddings later, with receptions here by the waterfalls, we now have four wonderful grandchildren who in turn have enjoyed fishing, playing tennis, swimming, catching frogs in the goldfish ponds, and driving around in the golf cart. We will miss this property dearly, and wish the new owners equally enjoyable memories.”
