There's a place down near Fish River where a lovely subdivision has sprung up off the beaten path.  Sonora Place offers a rare opportunity to own a new home, built so beautifully well by Darrell Gooden, in Baldwin County, on at least an acre of land.  All the expected amenities are here:  underground utilities, city sewer, total electric; and the unexpected amenities:  the peace and serenity of a rural landscape, where peace and quiet reign, the unexpected appearance of deer in the fading twilight, the whispered scent of evergreen from the christmas tree farm next door.

    Darrell Gooden has been building quality homes and developing lovely new home communities in Northwest Florida and Southeast Alabama, including Pensacola, Fairhope, Daphne, Lillian, Milton, Pace and Navarre for better than twenty years.  He has built hundreds of homes ranging in size from 1500 to 3200 square feet of living space, with either a 2 or 3 car garage.  The four homes available in Sonora Place are 2541 to 3000 square feet of living space.   This home for example, is 2700 square feet of living space, has a three car garage and sits on a one acre lot:

The best part of this one is the most recent price reduction.  Some of the interior shots that follow will give you an idea what the inside is like, but if you really want to know this home, come visit us!

Just look at this kitchen!  Roomy beyond belief, gorgeous countertops, classy white cabinets... Who wouldn't want to spend some time here preparing delights for family and guests?

This great room is ample enough for any style furniture you choose, a huge television (or not!), daydreaming, visiting and holiday decorations.  Bonus?  Just inside those ledges are located electrical outlets, just in case your dreams include lighted decor!

AHA!  The secret passage to the super secret master bedroom.  Well maybe not super secret, but tucked away just enough to feel like a secret room.  It truly lends itself to additional privacy, and that archway on the left of the picture is the entryway to the kitchen.  Midnight kitchen raid anyone?
      

This is the interior of the gorgeous entry door.  See that heavy glass design?

The master bath.  Shower, tub, long vanity, double closets.  It is a haven from the rest of the world.

Next to the subdivision is one of  Baldwin County's best little secrets: Fish River Trees, where you can go cut your own holiday tree, dig up your tree or buy a tree.  They already have the holoiday train out and ready to roll for the tree farm tour.  I wonder if they will have the reindeer this year?  Whatever they add, it will surely be as delightful as always.

    Sonora Place is a magical, serene community just East of Fish River, right next to fish river trees and some of the most beautiful land you'll ever see.  It is one of the lovely parts of Baldwin County that might be your next home.
