What the Owner says:
We bought the property some eight years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed redesigning and refurbishing it from top to bottom. We love it here because it is quiet and peaceful and the views are stunning, but we are looking for another project and hope new owners will enjoy everything here, whether as a permanent home or a holiday country retreat.
