Where generations find home.
A timeless sanctuary in the foothills
A Place with a Story
Just beyond the old oaks, the original hand-hewn timber barn stands proud – its massive weathered beams a masterclass in early craftsmanship. Here, history is not a museum piece; it is a living, breathing backdrop for moments meant to endure.
AN UNHURRIED SANCTUARY

The Timber Barn
Not a barn built for weddings. A barn with over 200 years of stories. Before it became the setting for first dances and heartfelt toasts, our hand-hewn bank barn sheltered the harvests of generations past. Our majestic barn stands as a masterpiece of classic architecture. Featuring massive hand-hewn exposed timber beams, it strikes a rare balance of rustic heritage and refined, warm atmosphere for evening feasts and dancing.
The Mountain View Patio
The open-air patio and meadow offer an immersive view of rolling golden hills, catching the golden hour light in a display of sheer natural poetry. Offering 2,400 square feet of space, the patio comfortably accommodates a classic outdoor ceremony or dining alfresco under the stars.
The Corn Crib Bar
The Corn Crib Bar has been thoughtfully reimagined as one of the most memorable gathering spaces at The Estate. With its rustic character and storied past, it brings a sense of warmth and charm to every celebration.
Today, it’s where cocktails are poured, stories are shared, and guests gather between dinner and dancing. Original character meets timeless design, creating an inviting space that feels both rooted in the history of the property and made for celebrating.
