Hundred year Oak trees positioned in the center of the community make for some insanely beautiful sunsets. If you are touring the home around that time, be sure to take a few minutes to find this spot. We guarantee that you won't leave without snapping a photo or two. These Oaks also set the stage for one of the most frequently used fields in the neighborhood. In the summer months, the HOA hosts food truck Fridays each month here and brings in live music. Neighbors walk or drive their golf carts to this field, throw a blanket down and enjoy spirits, food trucks, and live music together. Just beside this field sits the custom built tree house. A naturesque playground built to allow all ages to climb up and into the branches of one of the hundred year old Oak trees. The community also offers a large zero entry swimming pool, a beautiful outdoor shelter with a fire place, picnic tables and 2 large gas grills, a community fire pit, a kayak launch, numerous ponds for fishing, and an amphitheater which is often used for events such as the neighborhoods Fourth of July festival and fireworks show.
