INCREDIBLE NEW PRICE! Two levels of stately living await you behind the gates of The Oaks. As soon as you get a glimpse of this 3 bedroom (plus office), 3.5 bath custom-built home you will be drawn to it. Surrounded by lush landscaping and exterior lighting, it sits magnificently on a lovely lot overlooking the 12th hole of the Heron Course.
