They would have movie nights there,” added Ambuehl.The grounds are complete with an entertaining patio, BBQ area and a resort-style pool with a waterfall.Before officially listing the property for sale, the couple looked into renting it out and listed it for $60,000 in March and April 2025, according to Redfin.
