COME AND ENJOY NATURE AND SERENITY AT ITS BEST!

We are both Award-Winning Design Professionals but instead of being "over the top" like so many high-end designer owned homes this home is very comfortable and inviting and masterfully and seamlessly blends the outdoors with beautiful and private views of nature and indoor furnishings that echo the outdoors.

This is a home designed to be lived in and enjoyed and is a playful and light-filled space. It is definitely not the kind of home you rent and feel like you can't put your feet up on the coffee tables because you CAN and you are encouraged to do just that: Kick back and relax and put your feet up and ENJOY!

The guest space is a huge 4100sf 6BR private self-contained guest area privately located in our 7000sf Farm Estate Home. Our farm is in a great central location only 20 to 25 minutes to Duke and UNC campuses and hospitals.

Come enjoy the breathtaking long range views on the
private and park-like farm. 9' and 10' and vaulted ceilings, 70" TV in media room, huge salt-water pool, hot tub, hiking trails and pastures to roam.

High end furnishings with a contemporary flair.! We have created a one-of-a-kind oasis for you to come and relax and have a memorable stay.

The space
We are available by text or phone if you need us but the 4,100 sf guest area of the home is COMPLETELY PRIVATE from our "owners' quarters" 2,900 sf area of the home so guests have COMPLETE PRIVACY with your own private over-sized salt water pool, private entrances with electronic locks, a very well-stocked full kitchen and two private living areas (one is a media room with a state of the art 70” TV). Your COMPLETELY PRIVATE & SEQUESTERED pool is an oversized salt-water pool and separate hot tub.. There is a large fire pit in the pool area and we furnish firewood for your bonfire

You also have your own large screened porch overlooking the pool area and guests are welcome to roam anywhere on our 55 acre park-like farm if you will exercise common sense around any animals you may encounter and exercise common sense on our trails through the woods, so bring your hiking boots and if you are a bike-rider bring your trail bikes (the kind you pedal since we do not allow motorized vehicles on our trails).

Since our 2,900 sf "owners quarters" are completely private from the 4,100 sf guest space you typically will not see us unless we are cleaning the pool for you or emptying the outdoor trash cans for you or building a fire in the fire pit for you unless you call or text us and let us know you want to see us. We are very friendly and sociable but always assume folks are renting here in the country to be able to get away from everything and decompress and enjoy nature so we fade into the background and let you enjoy both the “outer space” of nature outdoors on the farm and the incredibly beautiful “inner space” we have created for you to retreat to when you want to be indoors.

Prepare to be "wowed" when you enter your accommodations. No expense has been spared in creating a one-of-a-kind home.

The open-concept kitchen and dining area has lots of glass and expansive views out across the pool and pastures and private lake. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need to linger and prepare meals that are a labor of love or just pop something quick in the microwave or oven. The island with its 3 bar stools and an open concept dining area with a table that seats 8 provide seating for 11 to 12 with another table in a nearby living area providing seating for another 4 and outdoor poolside or screen porch dining adjoins the kitchen area.

The informal living area has a sectional Italian leather and fabric L-shaped sectional sofa and comfy chairs and a game table as well as a large media room for guests that has a 70" state of the art Samsung QLED TV for Netflix and Prime etc.

Each bedroom is both unique and exceptionally well appointed and has black out shades and its own private bathroom.

All of the floors in the guest space are hardwood except for bath floors which are all tile.

The home is exceptionally pet friendly for WELL-BEHAVED 100% house-trained dogs only.The overly large pool area has plenty of grass for your pets to enjoy being outdoors in a secure area. Due to cat allergies we do not accept cats. There is a $50 pet fee per dog payable upon arrival and you are responsible for damages if your dog damages anything.

We often get inquiries from people who want to exceed our stated maximum number of 13 guests. We are not an event center and we are not a "party house" and if you make a reservation you need to honor our house rules of no more than 13 guests. ANY exceptions to this "Maximum of 13 guests on premises" policy must be given by us to you in writing and exceptions will only be made on a case by case basis based on how many addional guests would be on premises and for what duration. There will be NO exceptions to the maximum number 13 of guests being INSIDE the home but on a case by case basis there may be written exceptions granted for extra folks coming over during the day for a limited amount of time for a FAMILY oriented event like a family reunion or a birthday party OUTSIDE the home. Once again, 13 is the maximum capacity INSIDE the home and any exceeding of the same 13 outside must be approved in advance IN WRITING by text or email. These rules are in place to prevent our farm from becoming an event center or to prevent it from hosting large parties.

Please read our Rules and Policies on this site since by submitting a reservation request you are agreeing to abide by them. Please also do an online search for the North Carolina VACATION RENTAL ACT since by submitting a reservation request you are agreeing to abide by those statutory rules and regulations, one of which allows us to immediately evict any renters who damage the property or violate the noise ordinance for Orange County.

It is also important to know and understand and agree that all alcohol must be used RESPONSIBLY and that you will take good care of and not damage our home. I mention alcohol specifically because in the past we have had two instances of groups of guests not drinking responsibly and damaging our property so we are much more careful now in screening our guests and being very clear and upfront with everyone making a reservation that ALCOHOL NEEDS TO BE USED RESPONSIBLY.

When it comes to alcohol we want our guests who drink to drink RESPONSIBLY and stay SAFE and keep our property safe and undamaged also. Thank you for understanding this.

Guest access
Guests have their own parking area and entry area and we will provide a 4 digit code for your use on the electronic entry locks, at the same time we send the check in information.
