Laurel Park is adorned with cobblestone walks, mountain rock walls, sparkling fountains, quaint wooden bridges, and acres of pristine landscape.
Three different, but complimentary living structures are spread comfortably across the high ground fronting Candies Creek. Entering the gracious estate through stone & wrought iron electronic gates, at the end of a tree lined drive and behind the central roundabout you will discover Laurel Manor, the first iteration of which was built in 1987. Lovingly maintained, thrice updated, and enlarged, the Manor is reminiscent today of an old-world French country family estate.
The current owners purchased the property with a vision to take the beauty and tranquility of the historic terrain, and expand, improve, and update with every modern convenience imaginable while keeping the integrity of the original beauty intact. This is evidenced from the meticulously manicured grounds to the noble copper-roofed manor, the fairytale guest cottage overlooking a majestic fountain and 3 spring-fed ponds, and the iconic 100-year-old, totally renovated, Urban Chic Barn Chalet.
