This is the home that you have been waiting for. .. .from the moment that you drive up the Bradford Pear tree-lined drive that overlooks the expansive front lawn area, you will feel like you are home! Walk in the front door and you are greeted by a beautiful 14-foot box-beam ceiling formal room and a wall of windows with French doors that lead out to the backyard. In the backyard, you enter into another world with the patio and outdoor kitchen with concrete countertops, a Pebble-tech pool with waterfall, and a concrete pad plumbed and ready for your spa. Walk over the steel bridge that takes you across your own piece of year-around Rock Creek and view turtles, deer, turkeys and other amazing wildlife right in your backyard. Once across the creek, there is a garden area with raised garden beds, and during the winter there are 2 natural waterfalls that flow from the hillside that can be seen from inside the house. A small, fenced outbuilding is constructed that works well for goats, chickens or ??. Inside, the 4 bedroom, 2 bath home features 9-foot ceilings, a formal living and dining room, and a family room with a wonderful open feeling into the breakfast nook and kitchen…and all just North of town by about 10 minutes on 1.5 acres!

VLDR-2.5
Very Low Density Residential-2.5 Zone
The purpose of the VLDR zone is to allow for single-family homes and related uses in residential neighborhoods within the county. Standards for the VLDR zone are intended to preserve and protect the character of existing neighborhoods and to ensure that new residential neighborhoods provide an appropriate transition from rural to more developed areas. Permitted residential uses in the VLDR zones include single-family homes, small residential care homes, accessory dwelling units, animal grazing, on-site agricultural product sales, and private stables. The VLDR zone also conditionally permits non-residential uses compatible with a residential setting, including public and quasi-public uses, golf courses, park and recreational facilities, personal services, animal-keeping, large residential care homes, and medical offices and clinics. The minimum permitted parcel size in the VLDR zone is 1 acre. The VLDR zone implements the Very Low Density Residential land use designation in the General Plan.
