On the hill
The longest view on the property.
Not a cabin. Not a cottage. The Homestead sits at the highest point of the property — a modern two-bedroom home with the whole valley spread below it.
Two bedrooms, a separate bungalow, and a kitchen designed for those who actually cook. Living spaces that flow onto a wraparound deck — where morning coffee has a view that earns the drive, and evenings go as long as the fire holds.
Inside: modern, light-filled, with room for everyone to spread out. Outside: 430 acres, the Border Ranges on the horizon, highland cattle in the lower paddock. The highest position on the property — and the longest view.
The Homestead is for those who want space, privacy, and the feeling of owning the hill — without having to mow 430 acres.
