Spacious Outside As Well As In...
Loads of space to relax and play
Rear GardenOur villa sits on a larger than average plot which provides both an extensive lawned area at the rear and also contributes to the overall privacy and feeling of peace and calm. The extended length of our plot leading down to the river provides considerable privacy for guests.As of January 2009 the plots on either side of us are vacant and undeveloped. At the bottom of the garden is the Rotonda River, often referred to as the Rotonda Canal. Although not connected directly to the Gulf of Mexico - and hence not tidal - this extends around the Rotonda development for over 20 miles. Flying visitors include ospreys, snowy egrets, wood storks, woodpeckers and many more. On foot visitors have seen racoons, armadillos, bobcats, foxes and a family of large, and very fast tortoises. One reason there is so much wildlife to enjoy is partly due to the fact that Rotonda is a nature reserve with no hunting allowed. Another, may have something to do with the combination of water, trees, peace & quiet and no shops or commercial premises at all. |
