There are 63 undeveloped acres next to us, and three neighbors on bucolic three acre sites on the other side.
It's very peaceful here with abundant wildlife. The area has wild turkeys, an owl who lives near our driveway hill, many rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, deer, foxes, coyotes, bears, geese, ducks, birds of all sorts, and fish in the pond. Hendersonville is a bird sanctuary, a nature lovers paradise.
Our farming activities consist of managing the greenhouse and cutting lavender in the summer. The lavender field is between the cottage and the greenhouse. There is no heavy equipment; no traffic. There's minimal traffic on Kanuga Lakes Rd. on the other side of the cottage.
We have two small trails on our property. Next to the storage container at the end closest to the main house is the entrance to go down one trail. At the bottom of the hill, cross the bridge and walk up the other side. Our property intersects the middle of that pond. The meadow below belongs to the other neighbors.
