Lot 1 is the main house on 10,043 sq ft and Lot 2 is the small cottage on 9,851 sq ft both together are enclosed by a fence. Mature trees and newly planted garden areas with young fruit trees and vegetable growing areas envelop both properties with each south-facing veranda looking to Kandance Point above the woodlands leading down to Grand Bay.
The Main house has Four main A-frames which are bolted together from the ground to the peak of the roof this design makes for a very strong structure.

The water to the kitchen and indoor shower is heated by an on-demand water heater powered by propane.
