A gazebo enhances the pool and patio area, creating a perfect space for outdoor relaxation. The 24' x 72' barn was designed and built by horse owners, featuring three oversized stalls, a wash stall, a 12' x 24' tack room, and a 24' x 24' workshop/garage. The entire property is fenced and cross-fenced into three pastures with board and no-climb fencing. A round pen is conveniently located in the shade of majestic live oaks.
