The guest cottage is separated from the main residence by several established hedges. While it has the private and detached feel of a separate residence, it shares a wonderful west-facing view of the yard, and would be the perfect space to create a resort quality guest quarters. Additionally, there is a detached structure that is currently being used as an art studio, but could be utilized as an office, playroom or workshop.
