As you approach this one-of-a-kind property, you find a classic 3-rail fence spanning the extensive road frontage with a diverse array of mature, large trees in the yard. You also see impressive stonework everywhere you look: the home built entirely from native stone quarried on nearby Round Mountain, a dry laid stone border wall running the full length of the property, a distinctive covered entry portico with carved fretwork and a stone arch, where you'll find traces of a hand painted Alpine mural scene created long ago. Clearly a true craftsman was at work here and his name was Arthur Burer, a Swiss stone mason in the 1930's who was the home's builder.
