At Ellie Fant Design, we don't just design houses; we craft legacies.  We weave your dreams and aspirations into the very fabric of your entire farm or estate, creating an elegant flow of spaces, buildings, barns, multiple driveways and landscapes.   We tell your story of love, land, home, family and the unique lifestyle that is Farm & Estate Country.  I cannot wait to hear all the things you dream for your land and home.   I want to walk and talk as you tell me  about the day you looked around and just knew you were home.   

For one of my current projects, I drive through the soft rolling hills of the back roads of Levy County, Florida. Down long dirt roads, through a large tree farm and then to another, single lane dirt road, where canopies of Grandaddy Oaks, stand watch overhead. The car vibrates and rattles as I pass over the cattle grate, wind along the drive, around a natural spring fed pond, where I inevitably disturb cattle wandering in the path. It's calm and gorgeous and alive. It speaks to me and I hear it.
​
It's a profound connection to the land, this love affair with rural landscape, that fuels my passion for creating custom farm and estate developments from my own farm and home and down those dirt roads of my neighbors and community. They call our area the nature coast for a reason. I believe that home and land should be more than just a dwelling or address; it should be a reflection of your story, a sanctuary that nourishes your soul and connects you to the generations that came before.

Crafting Your Legacy, One Acre at a Time
​
I want to hear your story.   That is the beginning of the design journey for me. Everyone deserves an origin story and someone to listen (and possibly a theme song).  I want to take a long walk around your winding roads and pathways. I want to listen to the whispers of the land, understand its contours, its history, and its hidden potential. I want to explore with you and uncover your property's unique character, meet all of the residents, two legs or four. I want to know all of it's spaces and feel it's beauty.
​
Home should be a haven for the now as well as for the generations to come. A place of legacy. I want to weave all of those learned stories into a beautifully elegant and cohesive design for your entire property.   Our collective goal will be to create spaces that are functional and beautiful, adaptable to changing needs of your family and designed to stand the test of time.  We'll weave a tapestry of experiences throughout your farm & estate, from intimate family gatherings in the heart of your home to grand celebrations in the spacious barn or outdoor entertaining areas.  We will create spaces inside and out that make sense and welcome children chasing fireflies under the trees, cozy evenings by the fire, laughter, love, neighbors, nights under the stars, 1st birthdays, teens playing basketball and talking into the night, rolling paddocks and pastures, sun-drenched afternoons leading to spectacular sunsets for miles. 

I believe the smallest details can make the biggest impact.   From custom millwork and handcrafted furniture to carefully curated artwork and vintage accents, we'll infuse your home and property with character and charm along with the elegance of modern touches, creating a space that feels both timeless and uniquely yours.   We'll make sense of all of the barns, out buildings, drives and paths with landscape, signage and seamless flow throughout every acre of your property.
​
We'll create a comprehensive plan for your property and home, optimizing the use of your land and ensuring a harmonious flow between structures and natural elements. We'll design every aspect of your farm and estate, from the facade of the main house to the cozy interiors of your guest cottages and barns.   We'll create outdoor spaces that seamlessly blend with the surrounding landscape, incorporating gardens, courtyards, and barns that enhance the property and your story.
​
I'm Ellie Fant and I will listen deeply to your story and aspirations, creating a space truly reflects your vision and lifestyle.  I will bring a wealth of creative ideas and a collaborative spirit to every project, ensuring a truly personalized and enjoyable design journey.   I am committed to delivering exceptional quality and craftsmanship, ensuring that home is not only beautiful but also built to last.
