Deer, wild turkeys, songbirds, fish & other wildlife rise with the early morning mist by shaded water. Over a mile of walking/atv trails wind through established permaculture like walnut, persimmon, pecan, various oaks & fruit with countless indigenous flowers & medicinal herbs. 2677 sf of finished climate controlled living and work space newly expanded & updated from a 2010 build is full of handcrafted hardwood trim & wallcoverings, all designed & detailed by the same craftsman who built this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home & studio.
