A tranquil creek courses through the property, feeding serene water features and a picturesque pond that reflects the surrounding mountain beauty.

The undeniable centerpiece of the home is the spectacular porch room-a grand indoor-outdoor living space that delivers the "wow factor." Surrounded by the beauty of the landscape and filled with natural light, this stunning room serves as the heart of the home, offering the perfect place to entertain, dine, or simply take in the sights and sounds of the creek, pond, and gardens. 72 Moonlight Lane is more than a home-it is a private mountain retreat, a garden estate, and a legacy property where years of thoughtful stewardship have created an environment unlike any other.
