About the host

Hosted by Nicole Harris

Host profile image
The Harris Family is 6th generation of family on Armenia Mountain. Help us continue the restoration of the Douglas Place! Future plans include remodeling the kitchen, laying stone for the antique cookstove and restoring the outhouse back to working condition--in case you get the urge ; )

We are pursuing our dreams of being self-employed, raising our kids around plants and animals!

Why they chose this property

We are born and raised in the Troy area, and have decided to remain in this area to continue the legacies and traditions of our families. We purchased the property because we needed more farmland close to our home. I've ridden horses on the dirt roads past this property for years--never dreaming that we would one day be able to own it! The land hasn't been farmed in 40+ years, but are working on clearing land to make it back into a working farm.

What makes this property unique

When I was younger, I can remember riding around Armenia Mountain with my grandfather. We would drive past this white cabin, with lattice on the front, and a white picket fence with a sign that said "Oleo Acres: One of the Cheaper Spreads."

We are excited that we now own the cabin and surrounding land. We are farming: raising our children around plants and animals on a unique piece of ground. We pick wild huckleberries (blueberries) and harvest wild leeks. We hunt on the property and the attached 3000+ acres of State Forest Land. We ride horse all over the area. There used to be native brook trout in Rathbone Creek--we chuckle as we haven't even had a chance to go fishing in the creek yet! The pond we built in Fall 2015 is ready for fishing!
