The Estate Experience

Outback Valley Estate is more than just a place to sleep; it is a meticulously curated sanctuary designed for those who value both privacy and connection. Set against the rolling backdrop of North Carolina’s Yadkin Valley, our 45-acre estate combines the quiet strength of Amish-built craftsmanship with modern, resort-style luxury. From the security of our locked gated entrance to the rustic charm of wood-fire cooking under the stars, every inch of this property has been refined by hand to provide a tranquil backdrop for your family reunion, wedding party, or wine country getaway.

Backyard Resort

The Backyard Resort

We designed the backyard to be an outdoor extension of the home. It’s a place where you can move from a morning of fishing to an afternoon of lawn games, ending the night with a homemade pizza. The stone waterfall and outdoor shower were handcrafted by Mike using stones found right here on the property.

  • Water Features: Private hot tub, hand-laid stone waterfall, and a stocked fishing pond.
  • Outdoor Kitchen: Wood-burning pizza oven, gas griddle (propane provided), and a stainless gas grill.
  • Lounging: Large furnished deck, outdoor shower, and plenty of seating for the whole group.

  • Seasonal Perks: A private blueberry patch for guests to enjoy during the summer.
