Spacious 4-bedroom house on 80 beautiful acres in Greensboro
Forget your worries in this spacious and peaceful setting.
"Contentment" is a beautiful early 20th century, one-story home on 80 acres.
Exterior spaces include a screened back porch, large front porch, brick patio and a deck.
House rules: Booked guests ONLY. Parties prohibited
The pool is generally open May - October. Please check with us to see if it will be open during your stay.
Our property is located in the Hale County countryside just 2 minutes south of downtown Greensboro, AL. The land was purchased by an Episcopal priest in the early 1830's and now, 6 generations later, it remains a cherished family home. "Contentment" has been home to Episcopal ministers, teachers, gardeners, birders and nature lovers.
The house sits on 80 acres, 5 acres are maintained. The entire 80 acres is open to guests and includes over 2 miles of trails!
In 2022, habitat restoration projects began, first with a native grassland prairie restoration (ongoing), and in 2024 work began to open and restore the pine-stand understory. The goal is to manage for greater biodiversity and as a birding family we particularly enjoy watching and listening to the bird species change with the seasons!
PLEASE NOTE: There is a property map in the guest info binder located in the kitchen and in the listing photo gallery.
There is poison ivy near some trails. We recommend that you be able to identify it and to stay on the trails to avoid exposure.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.
