A piece of paradise wrapped in paradise:
No matter what angle you look from, you will have to look twice.  Having coffee on the back lanai at sunrise, tranquility so deep you can hear your own breath breathe.  The chilly 66 degree morning air lies motionless among the cypress and southern pines, it will move ones heart to watch the world come to life from the comfort of home.  A flock of wild turkey walk across the lawn with a couple of toms not far behind gobbling and prancing seeking their favor.  The gray squirels run franticly across the ground trying to shew away a family of doves while the tiny little wrens seem to look on in laughter, a couple of white tail deer move silently across the front corner of the lawn like graceful everglade ghost sliding off into the deeper cypress swamps where the willow are now in full bud.  The orange trees are just beginning to bloom filling the morning with a sweet aroma that smells like honey covered sunshine.  This was Feb 11th, the whipowill will start calling soon.

You can enjoy this in the luxury of this custom built 2 bedroom, 2 full bath 2200 sq. ft. home.  Nestled on 5 acres amide the 70,000 acre Picayune Strand State Forest.
