Description
The 5,45ha is a mixture of landscaping and lawns around the individual dwellings, all of which have fenced gardens plus extensive planted areas of shrubs and flowers interspersed with large trees, all of which combine to give the property a remote and tranquil feeling, which attracts various species of small game.
