As you enter the property, you are greeted by the fenced wooded oasis, consisting of numerous mature trees, vegetation and pathways. Approaching the entrance to the home you will see an impressive custom designed waterfall cascading into a pool as well as individual garden areas enclosed by natural rock formations. A dedicated well operates the irrigation system keeping the lush landscaping looking lovely year-round. As soon as you walk in the house your eyes are immediately drawn to the spectacular view of The Peace River. Every window of this home has breathtaking views of the outdoors.
