History in the Land:
We had masons building the hardscape for years. There is a rock island at the end of the trail in the River! Hence our name River Rock Villa. In addition there is river lock/canal from hundreds of years ago. Canal maybe 60-100 feet deep 15 feet tall and 20 feet wide - it's like the eighth wonder of the world! So the rocks are hewn to like 3' x 2' blocks stacked to make the lock to carry the boats up or down river. Then there are beautiful rocks on part of the shore and along the creek.
Construction:
The pool has a 6000' lb. dive rock along with others which we placed with a crane. And then the rocks that were chipped and placed to build the pool walls and water fall. The granite 4' wide steps to exit the lower pool & the 40' granite bar to sit at & the 10' swim up bar too!

ADVENTURE:
Adventure to River w/ fishing, swimming, rock island, some sand, historic canal. This is Goldvein country! So streams are rich! At the river you have sandy area. Cross water with our river shoes & carry camping chairs and/or cooler to sandy beach island. Fishing from the shore, the island or while wading. Fishing gear provided. Fishing License at local Walmart. You may see canoes & kayaks floating by - we have almost 6 acres but adjoin the Fredericksburg River Land Easement that goes up and down the river on both sides. It looks like Montana at the river - so natural you won't see houses or highways.
The outdoors is amazing - EXTREMELY PRIVATE, surround by hardwoods and gardens. Full or circular decks and path so you are never at a dead end.
The infinity edge is 40' and view crossed across the woods and through the valley - river visible slightly in the winter and often you can hear the river run. The pool has a shallow wide ledge for babies and grandmas. Ledge sitting is great for aluminum chair when you want to be a part of it all but maybe not jump in. Shallow end of pool basin is about 4 feet and goes to about 10 feet. There is sitting area near bbq - and the kids can swim up for refreshments. The lower pool is about 3.5 feet deep to 4 feet access by the thrilling spin-around slide for adults or kids. There is a safety seat at bottom of slide for parents to supervise and always necessary to have adult at top of slide for proper sitting to keep safety at the forefront. Young ones with supervisor develop a challenge word SO ITS SAFE TO GO... swirling down the slide. Always necessary to get the ok that it is clear down below! After you cross through the waterfall in the lower pool there are wide granite steps that bring you to the terrace landing and back to the 6000 lb diving rock. Keep it safe! There is a sitting loveseat in the deep-end for parental supervision and nearby confidence.
The infinity edge is beautiful and the sky and the trees reflect beautifully at night and day. It is tempting to lean over the edge but important all are reminded to keep your lower half in the water to prevent any accidents. No walking, standing, leaning on any of the pool counters or ledges. Safety first at all times. No dogs in the water please.
Lots of pool furniture and garden statues and archways here and there. Outdoor lighting and torches or the terraces. Be sure and put out all lights at the end of the evening. Quiet time at 10 p.m. Sound carries through the river and valleys.
Binoculars available - Life jackets and pool toys at Walmart accessible without getting on the main road.
