About the host
Hosted by Nicole May
I am a recently-retired high school principal who is a dual Australian and American citizen. I fell in love with Oakland House when I saw it for sale online 15 years ago. At the time, I was living in Australia. I bought it and moved my family to the USA without ever seeing it in person! After many happy years of living and raising a family in the home, it became an empty nest. I decided it was time to make it available for other people to enjoy, and and to start a new chapter in Oakland House history. I still live in South Carolina and regularly visit my Australian family.
Why they chose this property
Pomaria is such a peaceful rural town that it is hard to believe it is only 15 minutes from Newberry, Chapin, and Jenkinsville. Lake Murray and Lake Monticello are only a short drive away, and guests can usually get to Columbia and the airport in about 45 minutes.
I love my Pomaria neighbors who are always ready with a smile and a wave, but respect each others space and privacy.

What makes this property unique
I love the feeling of being part of Oakland House's long and unique history with character that is warm and welcoming.
In summer, the pool or the covered porches are great places to relax and quietly unwind.
In winter, there is nothing like sitting in front of a crackling indoor or outdoor wood fire.
