I'll be at the Club House or in Steve Corkers beautiful house at 58 Sicily Drive, a 2600 square foot home with an additional 1100 square feet of partially finished space up stairs.
don't even have to like horses (you will be shunned of course) most of the people here now and in the future will not ever own a horse, but they appreciate the beauty of what Portofino is all about. There is something serene about seeing the horses in the paddocks and the fenced pastures.
There is always something to do with horses, so for kids it is awesome, they can help out at the barn, take lessons, look after the horses and the fact that we have over 400 acres of woods and streams and a river and a fishing pond.
