A long paved driveway winds past paddocks towards the main section of the property where both the barn and home rest. 7 lush paddocks are in place, each gently shaded by mature trees and fenced with a combination of three-board, top board and wire, and cross fencing. The shedrow-style barn provides a total of 4 stalls and is equipped with feed and tack room and a wash rack with hot water. An arena is also in place, providing additional training opportunities.

The thoughtfully designed interiors feature tall cathedral ceilings, a split-bedroom floor plan, and a combination of engineered hardwood, ceramic tile, and porcelain tile throughout. Towards the front of the home is the formal dining room and private office space, which could be used for a variety of other uses such as a den, play room, or craft space. The kitchen is a real draw for those who enjoy cooking with its ample cabinet storage, expansive granite countertops, built-in wine rack, tiled backsplash, newer appliances, breakfast bar, and additional walk-in pantry.
