HOA easements and trees surround the .27 acre lot-twice the amount of land the builder is offering now. This location offers extra privacy you won't find with new spec builds. The screened in back porch is private and looks out at the trees behind the home-no need to worry about neighbors feeling too close. Sellers are offering a home warranty and all appliances are included. Used only as a second home and has been meticulously maintained. All windows and doors have blinds and there is a well for irrigation. Potential to add a pool. WindMark has 2.5 miles of landscaped trails and is golf cart friendly.
