Our property consists of 32 acres, main house (Shepherd's Retreat), guest house (The Cottage), pool, 2-ponds and pastures. The Shepherd's Retreat and The Cottage are on the top of a hill overlooking a beautiful pasture. This is a very private property yet only 5 minutes to I-65. The Cottage is one of 5 rentals offered by Green Pastures Getaways.  

The spaces are filled with lots of antiques, beautiful art (for sale) and lots of unique items. From the time you arrive until the time you leave, you’ll be inspired and wishing your stay had been longer.

We’d like to welcome you to “Green Pastures”. This has been our “dream property” for the last 20 years as we’ve passed by it almost every day. We became friends with the previous owners many years ago and amazingly now it’s ours! We’re looking forward to sharing it with you!
I know that you’ll enjoy your stay here!! This is one of the most beautiful places around! The views are breathtaking. The spaces are awesome. The décor is unique. There’s a lot to enjoy around the property and you’re welcome to roam around. There's a wonderful porch, a gorgeous live edge pool, lush vegetation, several great places to sit and relax and enjoy the outdoors. There is a fire pit and it’s easy to grab some sticks and get a fire started on a cool evening. Star gazing and sunsets are amazing as is looking at a gorgeous moon.
It’s not uncommon to see deer and turkeys roaming the pasture, owls and hawks fly by and squirrels chasing each other around. All types of birds make regular visits to the feeders around the property. There is a flock of Kathadin sheep that roam the property and just across the pond is a large chicken coop.

The Master suite is the most luxurious. This suite is configured with a king size bed with a luxurious mattress. The bathroom is incredible!!! It contains a custom double vanity, a large jetted tub and one of the coolest showers that you’ve ever bathed in with lights, dual shower heads, etc. This suite opens out to a unique outdoor room with a day bed, glider, vines growing around the entire space, a ceiling fan to keep you cool and lots of plants and flowers. The views from this space are awesome and it is just a few steps away from the pool!


This second suite is configured with a beautiful iron queen size bed. The full bathroom has a shower and gorgeous vanity. This suite also opens out to a unique outdoor room with a day bed, hanging swing, vines growing around the entire space, a ceiling fan to keep you cool and lots of plants and flowers. The views from this space are awesome and it is just a few steps away from the pool!

The 3rd bedroom is a great space and is decorated with a botanical theme, It has a beautiful king bed and is at the opposite end of the house from the other bedrooms. The bathroom is just a few steps away and has a gorgeous custom sink. 


The kitchen and living areas are incredible! Soaring wood plank ceilings, wide plank floors, huge brick fireplace in the center of the room and much more make this one of the most unique homes you’ll find. The kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you need to prepare some wonderful meals. There is a breakfast bar that seats 3 and a dining table that seats 4. There is a huge window allowing you to view the beautiful green pastures right from the living room! There is a 65 inch TV to enjoy the big games or a favorite movie.


If you need more space, there are options! There is a separate guest house (The Cottage) on the property that can accommodate 3 guests. There are other spaces we have that are less than half a mile away. Just inquire about these options and I’ll be glad to give you all the details.
We’ve lived in the Montevallo area for the last 25 years. A few years ago, we began renting out some extra spaces (The Barn, The Apartment and The Art Gallery) that we have. These spaces became incredibly popular and we began searching for another property. We found it here, less than a mile away. if you are in the area with a larger group you could consider these spaces as well.

My wife, Lynita, is an artist and each of the properties contain many of her paintings / drawings as well as her other creative touches. While primarily a portrait artist many of her other paintings are available for purchase. If you’d like to see some more of her work, let us know and we’ll be glad to give you a tour. From time to time she hosts art workshops at these properties so if you have an interest in attending one of these please let us know.

Guests have access to the Shepherd's Retreat and are able to utilize the pool and enjoy other unique spaces around the property.

We spend a lot of time here at Green Pastures and are typically on site on a daily, basis. There is a lot of property to maintain, grass to cut, pool to maintain, etc. so you'll see us around. If we're not here, we’re usually close by and always only a call or text away.

This is one of the most unique properties you'll find. Everywhere you look you're surrounded by amazing beauty yet you're only 2 miles from I-65.

Convenient to so many places!!!! 5 minutes to I-65, Montevallo, Calera 10 minutes to Alabaster, 1 Hour to UA in Tuscaloosa, 20 minutes to Oak Mountain State Park, 20 minutes to Lay Lake, 35 minutes to downtown Birmingham

If you’re not familiar with the Montevallo/ Calera / Alabaster / Columbiana / Pelham area just let us know and we’ll be glad to make some suggestions on things to do, places to eat, etc. We’ve put together a list of our favorite spots and that list is included and is also available online.
