Privacy

During parts of the summer, we stay in separate caretaker quarters at the far rear of the property so we can tend to the farm animals.

The guest home, driveway, lawns, and outdoor gathering areas are fully private and exclusively yours. The caretaker residence has its own separate drive and does not share guest spaces.
