About this property

Grelen's Boxwood Villa: An Enchanting Estate with Beautiful Gardens

(FOR WEDDINGS/EVENTS PLEASE VISIT OUR BOXWOOD VILLA WEBSITE AND SUBMIT AN INQUIRY THROUGH THERE)
Nestled on 13.6 acres of exquisitely landscaped gardens & grounds, Boxwood Villa (circa 1891) is a hidden gem for a couple’s retreat. Named for its stunning boxwood bushes encircling the property, this historic home was thoughtfully renovated by Leslie Gregg, the founder of The Market at Grelen. Her keen eye for contemporary comfort & preservation of historic design breathes new life into this historic manor. For couples booking Boxwood Villa for a romantic getaway, all living spaces (living room, library, dining rooms) of the house are included as well as the kitchen and half bath. Room accommodations include the Primary Suite and full bathroom located on the first floor. Guests will have 100% privacy during the booking. All other bedrooms on the 2nd floor are excluded and will be locked. However, if you wish to rent an additional bedroom in the home, please email us for pricing. If you’d like access to all 5 bedrooms (accommodates up to 10 people), please see our other Boxwood Villa listing for access to the entire home. Complete and full access to the grounds, walking trail and the surrounding 13.6 acre parcel are exclusive to booked Boxwood Villa guests. IMPORTANT: Bookings are only confirmed after we receive an e-signature on The Boxwood Villa Housing Contract, via email. PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the Primary Bedroom and downstairs (Kitchen, living rooms, dining rooms) and not the entire house. THIS LISTING IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO BOOK 30 DAY PRIOR TO CHECK-IN. There are no restrictions for booking the entire property. PETS: Pets (dogs only) are allowed with written permission and an extra fee of $50/per pet.

Why they chose this property

This property was a diamond in the rough. Originally built in the late 1800s, it had wonderful bones, historic detail and sound structure, but was yearning for some thoughtful and loving updates. Leslie & Dan picked this house because it's magical and the area because they are passionate about revitalizing Orange County and the town of Orange.

What makes this property unique

It has a .5 mile walking trail around the property and many picturesque picnic spots.
