A million dollar view has been repeated many times about this house situated between two lakes, Garrett and Lake Cherful..presently licensed as a 501c3 (not for profit) The Heron House is many things to many people..a meditation center, yoga center, tai chi practice, special event center, a spiritual center on Sundays, and on Fridays we enjoyed a variety of musicians on the back deck over looking the lake. There is a separate little apartment with a bedroom and access to bathroom . A large gathering space with several rooms for living or congregating. The open yet separate rooms make a perfect classroom situation as well, and the building has excellent sound insulation. As a historical center in Mountain Park, this building has a colorful past with commercial zoning's as well as residential. History has it as a dance hall, a bar with a jail attached, it was a General Store and a catering business as well as a residence. As the current owners have lovingly restored this center for the use of many, it has become the heart of this special community of Mountain Park. A Wildlife Sanctuary home to Great Blue Herons, Green Egrets, Great Barred Owls and so much more..all visible from the private garden in the back or the large screened porch. The peaceful feeling that overcomes you as you enter Heron House in unmistakable and we all find it hard to leave. Wine tastings, birthday celebrations, fund raisers have been a part of the history here. As a personal home this would be your retreat from the outside world, your own personal oasis.. Please call for a private tour of this hidden gem in the center of our little Paradise.
