The Hollys rises enviably high above the banks of the North Elkhorn, offering verdant vistas from a regal vantage above. Noted for its elegant simplicity, the estate's bold portico & pedimented entablature with dentils displays a strong yet refined manner.

Later owners shared the affinity for the home's stewardship, respectfully maintaining its character while artfully adapting it for modern use. Today, the residence anchors the farm's manageable thirty-two acres. A well-appointed guest house boasts a first-floor primary suite among its three bedrooms, while a converted tobacco barn contributes equine utility with a fine tack room.
