    Fancy house but I'd have to dissagree with then on color choice for the house.

    Lovely joint for a little bar-be-que with the neighbors. Does it come with it's own zip code?

    that is about it!



    ...A koi pond (stocked with numerous and some of the largest Koi I have ever seen, along with wooden arched bridge

    ...a separate picnic area with UNIQUE wooden chairs and tables (built around a pond/water fountain -of course not your run of the mill garden store fountain) kind of reminded me of the Hobbit forest

    ... winding paths leading to private canopies and the like to read, contemplate life

    ...more fountains running into a surprisingly fast running brook

    ...underground garage which is as large as an average American home

    ...on the inside one can be standing on one side of the home and look through the hall/s to the other end....the distance from end to end would be far to lengthy for a proper target practice with a hand gun...one could easily use a rifle (p.s. I don't shoot myself)

    ...6 foot + bushes manicured as -giraffe-elephant-etc.etc.



    I certainly have never seen anything remotely like this pad!

    Pics do not even come close to doing this spread justice



    Indeed, its own zip code!

    perhaps the bar-be-que would be nice hear (very secluded) with a lovely natural canopy.. 50-60 feet over head and one of the many koi ponds to admire over coctails

    it just goes on and on and on!

    Nice house, what do they do? Why were you there? Can you rent (borrow) it for photo shoots? Maybe they'll give you a room to live in while you shoot, you can extend the session for a lifetime?

    amazing house and grounds. Kind of a shame to have an EZ-UP on the deck like that rolleyes1.gif

    Interesting shots. So, when do you claim squatter's rights? :):

    Hello Phil
    The EZ up did clash a tad!
    Hey, you're right, I should inquire into squaters rights! :):
