Beautiful sunsets and lush mystic landscapes make this private sanctuary an exclusive destination. This sprawling 14,000 sq. ft. mansion can accommodate 18 overnight guests. As you enter the foyer, you’ll be greeted by a 34-foot fireplace along with a beautiful grand piano. The Manor boasts seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, three kitchens, multiple living areas, a billiard room, library, media room, and party barn. On the other side of the property, you’ll find a large timber frame structure housing three recording studios which have become home to many of the most celebrated artists in the world. Shawn Mendes, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Alice in Chains, Tim McGraw, Korn, Matchbox 20, Carrie Underwood, and Neil Diamond are just a few of the artists who call Dark Horse home. So... during your stay you’ll find yourself among very good company!
