In 1986, Diana Carl and her late husband, Captain Bob, designed and built a lovely country home with a magnificent view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They named it Southwyck Farm, after a home owned by their ancestors in England.

Southwyck Farm has an ambiance of a New England gentleman's farm. The furnishings are a mixture of 18th Century American, Oriental, and English antiques, enhanced by collections of waterfowl paintings and carvings. The home is adorned with Captain's memorabilia from his days as a Sandy Hook Harbor Pilot.

Take a stroll on trails that roam 38 acres of rolling countryside, or fish in the well-stocked bass pond. Sit on the porch or patio with walled gardens and enjoy a snack, conversation, or read. Farm animals and Brittany Spaniels live on the farm. Deer often graze in the yard and eat from the persimmon trees.

Enjoy a complimentary beverage while relaxing by the fireplace in the large living room or the cozy library, upstairs, which overlooks the woods and distant mountains. Relax with books, magazines, games, television, a CD player, and comfortable corners, just for daydreaming.
