Important Notes About the Property
This is an active, working property where I — along with my dog, Rio — am often onsite tending the land and pursuing our vision of a sustainable and regenerative farm. Our work focuses on native plant species, native grass restoration, and supporting pollinators, especially birds.
During the high season (May–September), we may also host a small number of glampers or RV guests elsewhere on the acreage. While the house itself always remains fully private for your stay, you may notice some activity on other parts of the property.
