Miles of walking trails lead to hidden gems spanning the property including a picturesque gazebo overlooking the ocean, the stone encompassed free form gunite pool with pagoda and accessory structure, and down another path, a pond. The winding path along the cliffside leads to your private beach access. The staircase down to the sandy shoreline affords one access to the 900+ feet of ocean frontage. A truly, remarkable setting.
