Plans are in place for Highland Retreat to purchase the house across Route 259 from the main office, which was formerly the home of Linford and Becky Gehman. When Highland purchased the former Green Valley Clinic from the Gehmans back in 2019, they also generously offered us the opportunity to purchase their home once they no longer lived there. That has now come to pass, and the purchase will be formalized early in 2026.
After the purchase, we will undertake some modest renovations in order to maximize the building’s functionality as lodging for Highland interns, staff, or volunteers. Our goal is to have the building ready to house some of our 2026 summer staff!
With the addition of this building as on-site housing, the south portion of Green Valley House will no longer be needed for that purpose. Instead, following some exterior upgrades, that facility will be converted to a guest rental space.
More updates will be added here as we have them!
