About this house rental

Enjoy the ultimate country getaway at this stunning ranch that sets the standard for luxury and elegance outside one of the most charming suburbs of the city. The interior spans 7,000+ sq. ft. over two levels of impeccably designed space and features 7 bedrooms, 7 king-size beds, and 4.5 bathrooms to comfortably accommodate up to 22 guests. Set on 7 acres of bucolic farmland, the home with an inground heated pool showcases gorgeous views of horses roaming behind classic white ranch fences.

THE SPACE
Enter through impressive double doors to the residence’s grand foyer that leads to the main level social areas. A large great room with soaring ceilings and a luxe seating area is centered around a wall of windows and glass doors that open to a 3-season room and never-ending views of the surrounding countryside.

The residence’s designer kitchen is every chef’s dream with high end appliances including a gas range, prep island, and bar seating as well as a premium housewares package for creating and serving any type of meal. Enjoy dining with family and friends right in the kitchen at the 6-person table with a view of the TV and fireplace in the family room or take a more formal approach to entertaining in the separate elegant dining room in the front of the home.

Four bedrooms are located on the main level, including the exclusive primary suite with magnificent king bed, smart TV, huge walk-in closet, private access to the 3-season room, and ensuite bath. A garden tub under a large picture window, separate walk-in steam shower, and dual vanity sinks are hallmarks of the impressive bathroom.

Bedrooms 2, 3, and 4 all have king beds with luxury linens, smart TVs, and lovely views of the surrounding property. Also on the main level is a guest powder room and completely stocked laundry room with a wine fridge.

On the estate’s ground level are bedrooms 5, and 6 (each with a king bed) and 7 that has a king bed and twin bunk bed. Additional sleeping options include a cozy full-size bed and a 2nd twin bunkbed. These bedrooms share the home’s 3rd and 4th full bathrooms.

The lower level is also home to a fantastic entertainment area with full kitchen, a bar, cozy lounge ideal for gathering to watch the big game on the smart TV next to the fireplace; and the home’s showstopper - a new outdoor hot tub that will be a favorite spot for every guest in the group.

Nearly every room in the home either overlooks or leads to the estate’s unparalleled outdoor living areas where the main attraction is an oversized inground heated pool. Surrounding the pool are several seating and sun lounge areas, a covered dining spot, and BBQ grill. Make your way across the expansive lawns to the stone firepit, a perfect place to snuggle under the stars at night. Unmatched views of expansive sky, endless fields, and roaming horses at the neighboring farm can be appreciated from every vantage point across the property.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
The check-in was very simple using a private code. The kitchen was well equipped although it did take some looking around to find some items as there are many cabinets and drawers. Some of us especially liked the free Keurig coffee makers and K-cups. There was adequate seating for everyone to eat, the dining room, high-top table in the kitchen and stools at the kitchen counter. The wi-fi was more than adequate for our group of 18. We especially loved the three-season room which face west. That was the coffee clutch room every morning. Too hot in the afternoon but no one cared as we were all in the pool playing with all of the toys. The 7 bedrooms worked out well as did the 4.5 bathrooms. Many hours were spent at the pool table and ping pong table. In fact we had double elimination tournaments for both as well as a cornhole tournament. As you can see we were very busy. The hot tub was also a great hit in the evenings especially later in the week after the heat index dropped well below a hundred. One night everyone joined in on a campfire and made s'mores. The central air conditioning worked well and was supplemented by two portable air conditioners, one in the basement and one in the dining room. Another great asset were the four refrigerators, one in the kitchen, one in the basement and two in the garage. All of them were jammed packed with food and drinks. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge John, the next-door neighbor and handyman(?). He was needed several times.

The property manager was very friendly and responsive. Overall the space is very large and picturesque. It does need a little fixing up and attention to detail when being prepped for visitors.
