Thanks for stopping by.
The Hacienda is many things at once. An organic farm. A haven for lost dogs. A short term rental.
Event Space. Family home. Homestead. Artist Retreat. 
Created, rehabbed and tended by former Decatur chef & restaurateur turned farmer and host, Michele.
That's me. 

​I bought this groovy mid century estate in 2005, with a swimmin' pool and tennis courts and a lot of little tiny rooms and mint green Formica in a little farm town an hour from Atlanta. Over the years I've transformed this grand dame estate into an open breezy contemporary home and event space with a big open kitchen at the heart on 6 acres of organic gardens. The Formica is gone and the pool is filled in (growing wild herbs and tree saplings now). It's a mid century modern... farmhouse. An eco friendly multi unit home with garage apartment too with 5 years running on Airbnb. There are tons of old growth trees, lush grounds and a little hen house and covered run for pastured hens, the old tennis court would love to have another cottage or a shop on it...
