Additional bedroom suites, each with private baths, are positioned on the opposite side of the home for maximum privacy. A stone path leads to the attached guest cottage with a bedroom, full bath, and kitchenette. Above the detached oversized garage, a large living area is perfect for a billiards room, office, studio, or bunkroom. The rear deck offers ultimate relaxation under the stars with a sunken hot tub.
