Alder, not sure about the builder. I am the only the second owner and it is 10yo. The man who had it built did so because his mother-in-law was no longer able to care for herself and they were moving her in with them. So bedroom #2 is completely across the house from the Master bedroom and has its own full bath and heat/air controls. He also bought 2 lots, a total of 2.8 acres, mostly woods. The Core-line (Army Corps of Engineers owns all shoreline plus about 100 yds) ends our property and goes another 100yds or so to the waters edge. The house is in the middle upper 1/3 of the property. There is a walking path down to the dock and a public access road (rock path actually). The road (almost unheard of in the area) and the dock (no more permits available) are worth $80,000. A falling-down POS wooden dock still on styrofoam blocks just sold for $60,000.
Vic, the quiet (no cars, trucks, airplanes, people yelling or playing rapcrap) and Darkness at night are unbelievable as are the clear dark skys. I can actually see the Milky Way!! and eagles soaring on the thermals during the day.
