About this property
Pool-Walkabout on 9 Parklike Private acres
Summary:
Escape to a private North Florida retreat where towering live oaks, winding canopy roads, and nearly 10 acres of park-like beauty create an experience that feels worlds away — while still being just minutes from the best of Tallahassee.
Tucked deep behind a graceful circular drive in one of Tallahassee’s most prestigious canopy road corridors, this secluded estate blends timeless Southern character with the comfort and convenience of a luxury resort-style stay. Surrounded by estate properties and untouched natural beauty, the setting is peaceful, quiet, and unforgettable.
Wake up to birdsong beneath moss-draped oaks. Sip coffee overlooking rolling lawns, wildflower meadows, and a tranquil lily-pad pond filled with native wildlife and butterflies. Spend your afternoons by the resort-style pool, unwind beneath the pergola at sunset, or stroll the scenic 5K walking trail just outside the property entrance along Centerville Conservation and Pisgah Road.
Designed for gathering, relaxing, and reconnecting, the home offers warm, inviting spaces ideal for families, executive retreats, remote work stays, reunions, or extended escapes. Expansive porches and elevated outdoor living areas create seamless indoor-outdoor living with breathtaking long-range views across the grounds.
The home has been extensively updated throughout with modern luxury features including:
• Heated resort-style pool
• Two new HVAC systems with UV air purification
• Rinnai tankless water heater
• 22KW whole-house generator
• Trex decking and upgraded outdoor living spaces
• Energy-efficient PGT & Pella windows
• Himalayan granite countertops
• Fully updated flooring and baths
• Soft-close cabinetry throughout
The property’s nearly 10 acres provide a rare sense of freedom and flexibility — offering space to explore, relax, entertain, and experience the outdoors in complete privacy.
Perfectly located:
• ~12 scenic miles to Downtown Tallahassee & the Capitol
• Minutes to Publix, Bannerman Crossing, restaurants, and shopping
• Convenient to Chiles High School, Roberts Elementary, and Montford Middle

• Paved 5K walking trail directly in front of the property

This was a great stay and fun for all of my family and friends! It was a unique house that has a lot of interesting rooms. We enjoyed having the ability to have a family and friends party in a secluded venue. We loved the ability to do clay shooting too!
Everything was just as described, Host was great and easy to communicate with. House was plenty big enough for a large gathering. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Steve in as incredible host and made sure we had everything we needed. It was the perfect venue for our small wedding and place for our wedding party of 12 to spend the weekend together.
Great home in a wonderful setting. The family enjoyed the privacy of the grounds and the warm accommodations. The host was easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. Will book again!
The property and stay lived up to our expectations. Quiet, clean, spacious, and comfortable for our family gathering. Steve, the owner, communicated extensively throughout the process. We would definitely stay here again!
The host was awesome. The place was absolutely spectacular!! We had such an amazing time we would never stay anywhere else if this place is availability. Truly a 5-star luxury experience. We would highly recommended especially for retreats and big family events. Plenty of space and privacy.

It was my pleasure to have you and look forward to the next time! Thank You, Ki!
Our stay could not have been any better! Stephen was super accommodating and helpful. The house and property is absolutely STUNNING!!! A great place to stay for a family and for dogs! Our dogs LOVED running around the beautiful property, and our kids loved exploring. A great place to hangout and relax!
Steve went ABOVE AND BEYOND for me and my bridal party this weekend!! The house was spectacular and we had the best weekend! Thank you Steve for your top tier hospitality, we hope to be back in the future!
We had a fun family get together at this Tallahassee retreat. Steve was a great host, promptly responding to our inquiries and accommodating our group’s requests. We hosted a dinner for 15 people easily in the large well appointed kitchen and dining area and accommodated five different families for the weekend. The property was so beautiful and peaceful, we would highly recommend!!
We rented the awesome place to be the staging area for our daughter’s wedding. We had a bridal luncheon and the rehearsal for the wedding at the spacious and beautiful property. It had everything we needed to make this wedding weekend incredible. Steve was so awesome to work with and that made our stay that much more enjoyable. Highly recommend renting this for any big occasions you might have .
Hi Steve we had a great time at your home. Memories were made and the house was perfect for our family. We had a lot of cousin time with 17 at one time on Sunday. Thank you for the food we managed to eat most of it . We are on the road back to Maryland and West Virginia. Take care and thanks for your number.. We will definitely do this again. Take and God Bless.
I booked the property for my family to stay at because I did not have enough room at my home. The house was amazing as well as the backyard pool. The scenery is wonderful with the pond. Everything is so nice and peaceful. Steve was a fabulous host. He is prompt with communication and very accommodating. My family enjoyed themselves so much that they would like to book this vacation home again! If you're thinking about renting this home don't hesitate, go for it!
