About This Home
Willow Pond Retreat – 12 Acres of Serenity & Soul Welcome to Willow Pond Retreat, a 12-acre country haven where beauty and function live in perfect harmony. Surrounded by mature gardens, sweeping willows, and a tranquil pond, this property offers privacy, warmth, and endless possibility. The main residence features multiple fireplaces and a light-filled kitchen overlooking nature’s ever-changing views. Outside, a newly lined navy pool is framed by lush, established gardens — an idyllic setting for quiet mornings or summer gatherings. A separate ADU apartment provides flexibility for guests or extended family, while the spacious workshop/studio invites creativity and craft. Meandering garden paths, blooming daffodils, and even a charming chicken coop complete the picture of country living at its most soulful. A new roof, new boiler system...rest is your desired imagination. Private, romantic, and deeply functional, Willow Pond Retreat is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle. A place where life is meant to be lived, not merely observed.
