The master bedroom is an oasis separate from the main house, with its own deck, king-sized bed, ensuite, walk-in-robe, wood heater, and study - a well earned parent’s retreat.
On the upper level of the main house, you'll find a spacious rumpus room—perfect for unwinding, practicing yoga, or simply enjoying the tranquil views.
