Private Estate Surrounded by Woods, Ponds, Nature and Peace

As featured on national television, this is truly a one of a kind stunning private estate! A 4,600 sq ft home situated on 5 acres of private land with gorgeous views of a forest and two ponds with nature views throughout every single window in the house. Just a quick drive to the City of Buffalo, New Era Field (NFL Buffalo Bills football), Hamburg Town beaches, skiing, Ellicottville and so much more! Available for private events: intimate weddings, bridal showers, filming, yoga retreats with pre-approval.

Perfect for small weddings, family gatherings and celebrations (with prior approval)! No extra fees for on premise photography or filming (bring your own film crew or photographer, of course).

This is a truly unique and special space with modern detail, unique art and high end finishes throughout.

A beautiful winding paved drive through private lush woods takes you into an utterly serene 5 acre estate set back over 1000 ft from the road with views of two ponds and wooded land from every window in the home. This home is a Sherwood Stoll built architectural stunner designed by the renowned Thomas Bantel. No detail was overlooked! Gourmet kitchen w/double granite counters & custom ash cabinets; Great room w/ corbelled brick, soaring 2 story fireplace, vaulted ceilings & cedar beams; First floor master suite with custom bath w/ Jacuzzi, and skylights; Unreal art “gallery" with mask collection from throughout Asia and Africa, native art and modern pieces all done with beautiful custom finishes, marble floors w/ 2nd kitchen and bath; amazing office w/ large L shaped desk with all glass sliders leading to 3 tiered deck overlooking acres of private land (not pictured, there is a built-in deck pool which is closed and off limits to guests), a fire pit and multiple outdoor sitting/lounge areas. Landscaped gardens with gorgeous seasonal flowers throughout.

INTERNET
We have high speed Spectrum internet with Orbi extenders for WiFi throughout the entire home and a dedicated office space ready for your personal laptop and devices.

SPACIOUS
The home includes two bars, two kitchens (one full kitchen and a smaller side kitchen off the entertainment room and gallery), two living rooms, a 55” 4K HDR Roku TV with Disney+ included, four bedrooms (including a kids' room with twin sized toddler car bed), five bathrooms - two full and three half, a huge deck, a circular drive, five acres of wooded private land, a small playground for kids, a Slackline, hammock, Adirondack chairs, and so much more!

KITCHEN
The kitchen is perfect for larger gatherings and dinner parties within a large and open space, it is situated with a peninsula stovetop and two in wall ovens. In addition to all stainless steel appliances and a dishwasher, we offer an air fryer, large microwave, rice cooker, blender, two sets of pots and pans, three sets of silverware, a large variety of mixing bowls, strainers and cooking tools. We invite you to use our condiments, assortment of teas and coffees, seasonal fruits, variety of snacks, candy and treats. We also offer a stocked pantry with a variety of soups, cereals, pasta, mixes and sauces should you forget something and need to use ours.

BEDROOMS and BEDS
All bedrooms are private, comfortable, stylish, super quiet and well designed with ample light, very high ceilings and gorgeous views. Beds in the three adult bedrooms are elevated off the floor and are accompanied with head boards (see complete description for each bedroom to clearly see which bed and/or sofa combination is where); the King beds all have flat and firm mattresses (the first floor master has a Casper Wave Hybrid Mattress and Snow Technology - their most advanced solution for nighttime overheating adding HeatDelete Bands and the QuickCool Cover for cooler sleep through the night), high quality, high thread count soft matching linens, and two sleeping pillows for every guest (additional blankets and pillows are also provided); the sofas/couches are as pictured.

FIVE BATHROOMS
The master bathroom on the first floor has a bidet. The toilet seat is heated and has multiple options for front and rear streams via remote control. You can, of course, use the toilet as a regular toilet without the bidet functions (just don’t press any buttons).

Please do take your time looking through the specific descriptions for each room to avoid any confusion and/or disappointment. There are a total of 11 “beds" which include sofas and couches. A booking for 12 or more assumes that people will share the King sized beds.

Please note that while this space does allow for up to 14 guests (including children), the space does not offer 12 separate beds. If you have 12 people staying, this assumes that people will be sharing the king sized beds and, also, that some people will be sleeping on couches, etc. If you wish to bring your own inflatable mattresses, etc. to accommodate individual sleeping spaces, that is allowed, please just ask ahead of time. If your group is larger than 12, please contact me for approval to book.

There will be no extra fee for any guests beyond 14 because bedding and towels, etc. is not provided for those additional guests (it is, of course, provided for the initial 14 guests). However, if you inquire, additional guests may be approved, on a case by case basis, at no additional fee.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom with a shower/tub combination features a jetted bathtub and a bidet.
Take advantage of recreational opportunities offered, including an outdoor pool, a sauna, and a fitness center.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

My family and I stayed here for a weekend to enjoy Niagara Falls and a Bills game. The property was stunning, very large spacious home. Beautiful views everywhere you look. Walking to the ponds in the morning was a great experience. Definitely will look to rebook next year!

Perfect for family reunion
Reunion with our children and grandchildren, four families from four states, to attend a celebration for the life of my husband’s late brother. Nestled between two sets of family homes, it was perfect. Large property with a playground allowed the 4,5,6,7,8 year olds to play ball and other games, visit the ponds with an adult, and be kids. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms to accommodate the 12 of us, dine together, play family board games, watch tv, just enjoy each other. We could also do mini meet ups with some of the family that came to Orchard Park from several other states. We did have to clean and arrange the outdoor furniture and forego making s’mores because of a bee issue in the firepit. Having shared those issues and one other with the owner, I expect that she will address those things for future guests. We all appreciated the opportunity to stay in this home.

Orchard Park Forest Retreat
We traveled back home to spend time with family for the holiday. Our host graciously allowed us to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family at the property and all loved their time there. It is a great house, with fantastic architecture and appointments. Everything was exactly as advertised and if we need a large space in Western New York again, we will certainly look this place up again!

Mixed Bag
Large house with lots of interesting decor and plenty of areas to spread out. Pretty grounds and walking paths to/from the ponds. Comfortable beds and plenty of kitchen space to prepare meals. Plenty of restaurants with friendly locals and good food/beer. On the downside- 1. Cleanliness could be improved (sheets on 1 bed dirty, food debris on floors in other rooms 2. Kitchen extremely disorganized 3. Had to unload dishwasher 4. Some dishes/utensils in cabinets were dirty with crusted food 5. Upstairs bathroom did not offer toiletries 6. No tissues offered in home 7. Used plastic cups with liquid in them on table at deck 8. Clear indication that a family lives in this house, vacates when rented out (priority UPS packages delivered to house during our stay) 9. Listing stated check out at 11 but property manager messaged us an earlier time frame on day of check out, asking when we were vacating premises 10. While our family was packing up the morning of check out, our family member was startled with noises in garage and found a man riffling through garage items before our check out time. This list may portray us as complainers however we are not of that caliber. For the rental price of this home the basics of a proper house hosting should be priority.

Great place to stay with kids. Central location.
Loved our stay. The house was a cool layout and had an amazing property. Great home if you have kids as they had a lot of toys and a great bed for a toddler. The location was really good too. Very close to a lot of places we needed to go.

Perfect woodland hideaway. Like an artist’s retreat!
This home is amazing. The property is incredible. The artwork and decor are worthwhile themselves! The indoors was pristine. Four rather than five because the decks and exterior really needed to be swept and have webs knocked down. But we were there pre-memorial day. Don’t expect to be able to unpack, the owner’s things fill all the space. But that means you’re also getting a super comfy and well-equipped home. I could live there! I love the property. I deducted a star simply because it’s not near anything. So come here if you want to be in nature, not for convenience. Definitely a car dependent location. I woke every morning to watching bees flit in the purple Rhodies blooming just outside the bedroom window. Very soulful space. ❤️❤️❤️
