Surrounded by 4 separate ponds, 9 different waterfalls including a 200' split stream! Over 500 TONS of boulders and 3 years of planning and designing in the making! The setting gives the illusion of being all one system but it's actually 4 different ones.
Stepping Stones take you across the crystal clear kidney-shaped pond to the shaded grill and picnic area. This vantage point is nestled in between the stream and 10' waterfall.
The ideal future homesite would be just behind this pond and to the left of the stream. The possibilities are really endless!
This is my favorite!
All water features have underwater and landscape lighting.
Another vantage point just outside the middle of the 200' stream. Once inside this naturally shaded entertaining, picnic/grill area, the the views of the stream and 10' waterfall are incredible!
Two 4,000+ lb boulders were used to create a bridge to get from the future home site to the picnic/entertaining area.
Designed to mimic a mountain stream. Boulders have been carved in and sunken into the ground to give the appearance the water has eroded away the soil and exposed the stone.
The"Monument Boulder" to the right took some prying away to get the stone yard to sell. It was used as as the feature boulder to their entrance!
This "Crater Boulder" is one of the coolest in the entire feature. Water splits around and down 2 small waterfalls and continues down stream.
Two large similar boulders were pinched together to create the illusion that the water has pushed through creating the beginning of the waterfall.
An abundance of different species of ferns and moss have been added throughout to give the feel this naturistic setting has been there for decades.
This Wetalnd Filter keeps the pond and stream crystal clear! 5' deep w/ 3 layers of different size stone allows the sedimentation & biological filtration process to occur. Beneficial bacteria will colonize on the rocks and help create a healthy ecosystem.
These large boulder steps take you to the top of the 10' waterfall, around a garden pathway, across a small bridge to a heavily shaded seating area (not pictured).
The sound of this waterfall is unbelievable!! The dwarf Japanese maple pictured is truly that color red. It came from Oregon and is unlike any I have seen.
It took over 100 tons of boulders/stone to create this multi-tiered waterfall. Featured is a 10' fall in the middle with two separate falls coming around each side. Stepping Stones go across the pond to the boulder steps and walkway atop the feature.
View from atop the 10' Waterfall. From this vantage point you can see where the other pond disappears underneath the road and into the larger pond.
80,000 gallon naturalistic pond with 50+ Koi.
37' octagonal dock w/ marina style wharf lighting and dock rope.
Custom made pergola with swing. Augustus Pride wisteria (which is the same you'll see at the Masters) on both sides. It's only been planted for year and is already 1/4 way covered!
Garden pathway with perennial garden is a Hummingbird, Butterfly, Bee and Dragonfly magnet!
This is the second of 4 ponds. This one disappears under the road and feeds into the 80,000 gallon pond. As you come across the driveway you are surrounded by both water features.
Numerous aquatic plants including pink, white and yellow waterlilies can be found throughout!
There are many garden statues and figures throughout the landscape.
10 different species of ornamental grasses can be found around the ponds. Pictured are the white muhly grasses which are fabulous all Fall long!
The scenery at night has to bee seen to be believed!
Three waterfalls pumping over 32,000 gallons per hour compliment the largest pond.
The large pelican sitting atop this stump keeps an eye on the place. All kidding aside, the property is a Wildlife Habitat! An abundance of birds (including Pileated Woodpeckers & Blue Herons), deer, turkey and yes your occasional bear have been sited.
There is over a mile of walking trails with several different paths leading to the beautiful Armstrong Creek along the way!
The trail system splits off into two directions eventually connecting back to one another. One takes you through the middle of the property and the other takes you along Armstrong Creek.
As you stroll along the 1+ miles of walking trails you'll discover over 3,000' of frontage along Armstrong Creek
Just below pond area you'll discover a parklike setting with large hardwoods and creek running through the middle of property.
