Ideally with dual access via Southwind Drive & Lorenzen Lane, it provides unique flexibility for future development. Located 8 mins from Costco and Woodgrove, the estate balances peaceful seclusion with urban convenience, steps from Copley Ridge trails for hiking & biking. Surrounded by mature trees with no visible neighbors, this sanctuary is perfect for private gatherings and open fires.
