房源位置

Chateau Mariposa is in an agricultural/rural community, Two and a half acres nestled among the trees, giving a feeling of seclusion, even though you are close to modern amenities. The Dollar General & Publix is just up the road a bit for those last minute grocery needs (2-3 miles) and there is an Anytime Fitness, liquor store and a few other stores in the Publix shopping plaza as well. (on US19/Commercial Way). If you drive just a few more miles, you will encounter restaurants, shopping, etc.
Some of our fave things about this area are the farm and wildlife we encounter. Mariposa is within a 12 miles radius that is considered "Bear Country", but we have yet to see a bear. That would be quite the site! There are beautiful horses who come right up to the fence on one side of the property. We have a resident Gopher Tortoise - Sir Sheldon - on the premises. He makes guest appearances from time-to-time. Mariposa (Butterflies), the properties namesake, is due to the many butterflies that call the chateau home. We have seen multiple swallowtails, monarchs, cloudless sulphurs and the zebra longwing butterflies...to name a few. The bird watching is pretty fine too. We love to watch the pileated woodpecker (the biggest of the species boasting sizes from 16-19" tall).
Please note we are in a wooded area and with woods come bugs; we spray regularly for bugs. If you encounter a bug inside the house, let us know and we will contact our pest service. The palmettos, courtyard and around the house is sprayed once for mosquitos and we have mosquito traps (red & black hanging on trees) in the back yard.

Parking is easy peasy at the Chateau. The large drive and front concrete parking pad accommodates multiple vehicles. PLEASE NO PARKING IN THE YARD or on the east-side parking pad (hosts park there). One note of caution, when on Blanks St, if you pass Ehrenwald, Blanks basically turns into a sand road and a vehicle without four-wheel drive could get stuck.
