Cozy living room.

While the feel and appearance of the cabin are rustic and historic, modern and energy efficient touches really complete the home.

Shepherd’s Cottage is available for $1.57M, fully furnished including The Homestead Golf & Tennis membership.  Homestead Preserve is currently offering the new owner of this home a leaseback of 10 nights monthly at $4,000 per month for two years.
