Each building is completed by festive exterior lighting and a small deck.And because this is a property that doesn't stop surprising in the very back of the Secret Garden is a surprise dog-leg bonus garden with a small finished man-cave or gardening shed, built in firepit and a stand of bamboo with a meditation seat.
