Hardwoods are predominant on this large parcel in the gated community, with several old beech trees making an enduring (and endearing) statement.

It's also likely that you'll only have one step into your home! Building down a bit further, the old road bed could serve as the walking out part of a walk-out basement. It might be nice to cut a set of steps into the hill (similar to what you find at a state park), with a landing or two, giving easier access to the level land and stream below in the lower portion of this beautiful property. Imagine the view from your deck! And the near-level portion below could offer a lovely enhancement to your view from above - it could be a massive garden, a park or play space!
