Supplements: What We Love About Our HomeBeyond the architecture and the expansive views, this home has provided us with a front-row seat to the very best of Florida's nature. It is more than a residence; it is a living sanctuary.Our Private Arboretum:The grounds are a gardener's delight, featuring five mature, cherry-blossom-style trees and a gorgeous, deep-raspberry Crape Myrtle that provides a stunning explosion of color when in bloom.A Sanctuary for Nature Lovers:Living here feels like residing in a private nature preserve. We are just minutes from the world-class Green Cay Nature Center and Wetlands, but you don't even have to leave the patio to experience the wildlife. We have spent years watching mother ducks and geese lead their babies across the lawn and along the lake's edge.We've even developed "friendships" with our regular visitors, who have become part of the family:"Whitey": Our local good-luck charma beautiful white dove who flew in and chose to stay with us for six months, a true testament to the peace found here."Hummer": Our loyal, returning yearly hummingbird."Woody": A magnificent red-headed woodpecker."DH": Our spirited resident Morning Glory bird who keeps everyone in line!The Best of Both Worlds:Because of our unique position on the lake, we are treated to both breathtaking sunrises and vibrant sunsets. Our favorite daily ritual is a quiet morning coffee in the sunroom as the light hits the water, followed by a relaxed "Happy Hour" in the courtyard as the sun dips below the horizon. The courtyard and sunroom have truly been our private retreats, offering a sense of serenity that is rare to find.
