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.”
