The spacious redwood deck offers access from the great room and/or the Master suite.  Long wide steps flow down to the hot tub and the fire pit area, as well as providing extra seating for large gatherings.  The hot tub is sited to be sheltered from the wind.  Both the deck and the fire pit have expansive views of the arena, the large stretches of lawn and the trees beyond.  Hidden among the trees is Cochrane Creek, a seasonal waterway.
