Spa
Bring nothing. Leave restored.

GOLF

Our picturesque grounds provide the perfect backdrop for your most important day. Choose an outdoor ceremony set against sweeping natural views, or celebrate in our newly renovated reception hall.

dine
MOTHER NATURE SETS THE TABLE DAILY.
Chef Austin Radosta brings Michelin-trained precision and a deep respect for the land to every meal. At The Barn restaurant, every menu is sourced from local farms, driven by what's growing now, and prepared with the kind of culinary curiosity that makes each visit genuinely different from the last.
We Bring New Meaning to Grab and Go.
Opening this spring
A chef-driven market where exceptional ingredients meet everyday life. Chef Austin curates the finest local Ohio producers, carefully selected provisions, and chef-prepared meals ready to take home, all held to the same culinary standards that make The Barn worth the drive.
live
Love where you live.
Walden builds custom homes from 2,200–6,000 square feet, thoughtfully sited within 1,000 acres of preserved Ohio landscape. From modern farmhouses to rustic retreats, each home is designed to reflect the serene beauty of the landscape. The spa, dining, golf, and trails are not amenities you drive to. They are your backyard.
