Overview of 21840 Nw 218th Ter

Country comfort in high springs: this exceptional property offers a rare combination of natural beauty, privacy in relation to neighboring homes, and convenience to the amenities and necessities families need. Retreat to nature at the end of a private lane where the gated entry leads to 9.77 park-like acres. Ancient live oaks impress with their spreading limbs and towering canopies, remnants of the forest which existed here centuries ago. Old-growth magnolias, dogwood, chestnut and cedars add to the variety of trees and shrubs which create a pleasant scene soothing to the eye and to the soul. The front of the home faces the back of the property rather than the entry drive, affording a view north across open pasture ideal for a horse or two. The horse shed is ready for a new occupant. The current owners enjoyed sitting in rockers on the porch in the evenings watching the resident deer come out to graze. Common each year are twin fawns. Wild turkeys are daily visitors as well, the gobblers displaying their fanned out tail feathers in the spring mating season. Neighboring homes are well away and not seen from the home, offering exceptional privacy.
