Miami, FL – March 8, 2015 – Miami’s historic Little Farm House was finally unveiled this past weekend after a grand restoration by new owner, writer Gabriella von Rosen. Guests including Nina Agdal spent time touring the new space, listening to music and munching on delicious bites throughout the fete. A longtime admirer of the eclectic property, von Rosen purchased the Little Farm House in 2014 and lovingly restored it to its former grandeur. von Rosen is now using the unique enchanted garden as a dog sanctuary and event space. Built in the 1920’s, this property is located on a bend of the Little River section of the Miami River on the edge of Little Haiti. An eclectic one-acre oasis consisting of a 1,200 square foot farm house, two story boathouse, and six colorful cottages featuring rustic furnishings – all made out of Dade County Pine, rescued from a trailer park down the road. A throw back in time, wildlife freely roam on or about the property, from the manatees that drift by slowly on the river close to the three hundred foot sea wall, to the ducks, chickens and iguanas that can be seen as they wander about on the lush grounds, a large area planted with native and exotic trees. Each of the eight structures on the property is charming in its own way, some painted in cheerful Caribbean colors, others in varying tones of white. The cabins, some of which have kitchens and bathrooms, and the boathouse, which has both, have been leased for short stays. A portion of the property is used as a dog rescue called “The Dog Rescue,” and von Rosen has placed several dogs in forever homes since purchasing the property. Proceeds from event rentals, film and photo shoots are used to support The Dog Rescue’s efforts.
