About this property
The Homestead - Beautiful, well equipped retreat
The Homestead | 3 Bedrooms | 1.5 Bathrooms | Beautiful, well equipped retreat
Discover the charm of The Homestead, a retreat that offers a multitude of amenities for a perfect getaway. This serene property boasts a private gym, a tranquil yoga deck, enchanting edible and ornamental gardens, an al fresco dining area with a smoker, a chef's kitchen equipped with premium appliances, a spacious open fire, a deeply relaxing bath, and generously appointed bedrooms. The ambience is designed for gatherings, where you can relax, recharge, entertain, or even host a yoga class.
The Homestead features three bedrooms accommodating up to six guests, and for larger groups, the adjacent Marnies Loft can be booked, expanding the capacity to a total of 10 people. Bask in uninterrupted views of hills and forests from the living room, while a grand open fire provides warmth and coziness.
The culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the long table for entertaining and the chef’s kitchen stocked with high-end appliances, including a Lacanche oven, Miele fridge, KitchenAid, ice cream maker, water bath slow cooker, juicer, proper coffee machine, and a walk-in pantry. The interior is adorned with wooden floorboards, comfortable leather couches, original art, and a discreetly positioned flatscreen TV – all contributing to a delightful stay.
Outside, explore the meticulously landscaped gardens crafted with the assistance of permaculturalist friends. From the orchard to the kitchen garden, guests are invited to indulge in the homegrown delights. Multiple spaces for al fresco dining and inside/outside dinner parties offer breathtaking views over the hills, complemented by the presence of a friendly gang of adopted alpacas. Stay warm by the brazier or indulge in a culinary adventure with the full-sized smoker.
A unique feature of The Homestead is the separate wellness shack, an onsite gym equipped with a rowing machine, weight machines, a ballet bar, medicine balls, a professional treadmill, free weights, and a spacious wooden deck for pilates or yoga. Embrace the opportunity to stay healthy even on vacation.
The property is situated next to Marnies Loft, a separate rental on the same title. Although discreetly separated by gardens and grape vines, The Homestead and Marnies Loft can be rented together as "The Estate" to accommodate up to 10 guests.
Please note that the owners occasionally reside onsite in a separate dwelling when not traveling. Your privacy is paramount, ensured by a separate drive and entrance to their residence. Experience the epitome of luxury and relaxation at The Homestead, where every detail is crafted to provide you with the best of everything.
