The ground floor walk-out level is a fantastic place to gather with a billiard room, theatre room, wet bar, 2nd kitchen, family room, gym, 5th king bedroom, and 1.5 bathrooms.
If you are looking to host a wedding or special event, our 10-acres of level fields with lake views are the perfect site for hosting.
