WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY
The lot feels remote and country, like a rain forest oasis, yet in an urban-type community. I enjoy the coqui frogs chorus + jungle sounds at night. Stargazing on clear nights is magnificent. Sometimes there is a rooster heard before sunrise. Once the sun is up birds sing good morning as I feed the pets + decide what edibles are ready to harvest. Bird watching is exciting + hummingbird moths dart from bloom to bloom here. Of course butterflies, unique moths + honey bees enjoy the flowers too. As a passionate gardener for the past 12 years, I am proud of the beauty + nourishment accomplished. Living in the round brings a very feng shui type of positive energy. I only regret building one yurt instead of two.
