Cons

Leased Solar System: While beneficial for energy, the solar system is leased, which may involve ongoing monthly payments and potential transfer complexities for a new owner, unlike a fully owned system.
Extensive Grounds Maintenance: The property's extensive grounds and award-winning landscape, while beautiful, will require substantial ongoing maintenance and associated costs, potentially deterring buyers seeking a lower-maintenance lifestyle.
Age of Core Structure: Built in 1991, the main house is over 30 years old. While featuring custom finishes, some core systems not explicitly upgraded may be nearing the end of their typical lifespan, potentially requiring future investment.
