Initially, the property was a fully functional ranch where they bred Limousin cattle. The Duchess soon became one of the top breeders of Scottish Terriers and traveled all over the United States and Europe showing her prized dogs. It also became a fertile hunting reserve for the Duke and Duchess’ European guests who enjoyed the thrill of hunting quail and Georgia white tail deer. Friends came from all over the world to escape the hectic pace of urban life and left with a renewed sense of relaxation after being completely immersed in nature and fully nourished, both physically and spiritually. We hope to continue that tradition of mental and physical nourishment as we open our farm to guests today.

Ryan’s culinary skills, Kara’s attentive and warm hospitality, Angelos’ passion for biodynamics, coupled with Chiara’s professional experience in integrative nutrition, have led them to create what is now a boutique and bespoke experiential vacation retreat.
