From the
minute you enter this 40-acre private northland oasis, there is a feeling of anticipation, a
feeling of unfolding…there are gates, ponds, a 9-acre native forest, park-like
sweeping expanses of lawns, and of course, paddocks for horses, or
livestock….statues from Bali and Thailand….culminating in the peace-inducing
protective walkway which is a continuation of that unfolding beauty….
Upon
entering the Courtyard, you look right through the house and you feel that you can literally
reach out and touch the South Pacific horizon… and you are immediately embraced
by peace and luxury and incomparable beauty...
Few properties in the world can match the natural
beauty of the private access beach, the heritage of the native forest or the
sophisticated architectural style of this timeless waterfront retreat.
