You approach this house not knowing what lies out back.  1-1/2 acres of paths of perennial gardens and 3 handmade ponds.  1st pond is 4' x 7' with a 20' stream.  2nd upper pond is 25 x 50 x 5D with a 45' long stream with a 4' drop waterfall that puts out 10,000 gph.  By the pond is a bronze fisher boy statue and a large gazebo to sit out and enjoy this pond and the perennial gardens.  Lower 3rd pond is 60' stream that leads in and out of 3 ponds and a bridge to walk over.  Lots of garden paths to look at here also look for the Japanese garden and English gardens.
