Pond #9
10040 Pierce Ct. Crown Point, IN
This backyard oasis has been a labor of love for the last few years. The colorful flagstone walkway leads you to the 2200 gallon pond and waterfall. This pond creates the foreground to a relaxing, shaded, outdoor living area giving the viewer front row seats to a variety of ever changing, sun-loving perennials whose color varies from early spring blooms of bright yellows and purples to late fall colors featuring vibrant oranges, reds, and yellows of the sun. The pond and surrounding perennial gardens are home to many varieties of inhabitants including beautiful Koi, a multitude of multi-colored goldfish, turtles, a family of frogs, and a variety of residential birds and butterflies including the occasional humming bird and even a pair of ducks. The owners invite you to their backyard oasis where you can relax in the double swing overlooking the pond or stretch out under the shaded outdoor living area, where you can listen to the sound of the cascading waterfall while observing the constantly changing perennial landscape.
