A former tennis court invites your imagination—restore it for tennis, convert it to pickleball, or transform it into a garden or equestrian space. Zoned for agriculture, Tara Oaks welcomes horses, chickens, goats, or cows, allowing you to embrace a rural lifestyle with modern comforts. The oversized two-car garage includes a workshop or storage area, perfect for hobbies or homesteading.
