Bellevue, Callie's childhood home, is now the base of most leopard activity in town. Located nearly an hour from the heart of the city, Bellevue is surrounded by beautiful oaks and rolling green lawns. The path to the door is lined with intricate gardens, cared for daily by a team of gardeners. The long, winding driveway leads from a pair of wrought iron gates to the side of the house, where there is a carpark. A manicured path leads to the porch from the carport, leaving the cars easily accessible at all times.

The house itself, dating from the early 1800s, is rather large. The first floor contains many rooms, including the grand ballroom, a formal and casual living room, and the game room. The kitchen and dining room, also located on the first floor, are hubs of constant activity. While most of the rooms in the plantation have been modernized, some (such as the ballroom) remain in their classic style.
The first floor houses an extensive game room, with everything from PS2 to a pool table, dartboard, and airhockey table. A humongous library resides in the room next to the indoor pool. Floor to ceiling bookshelves cover the walls, with comfortable chairs and a couple of plush sofas decorating the room. By far the most beautiful aspect of the room is the bay window. The window runs straight to the ceiling, letting in plenty of natural light. There is a seat at the base of the bay window, built into the small alcove it creates. The window seat is Callie's favorite place to curl up with a book.
Callie's study also lies to the rear of the house. A large oak desk lies in front of the window. One the desk is a computer monitor, and usually an assortment of papers. There is one chair behind the desk, and two in front. This is where Callie conducts most of her business.

The second floor consists mainly of bedrooms, twelve to be exact. The rooms in Callie's home vary in style, ranging from classic to purely modern. Most rooms have their own fireplaces (all of which are gas fireplaces), and six out of the eleven bedrooms have their own private bath. There are five bedrooms without private baths, for which reason there are three bathrooms available to the whole floor. Callie usually allows people to choose their own rooms, according to whatever style/layout they prefer. Pard members are always welcome to stay at Callie's home, however, she will not tolerate leeches, nor will she provide anyone with a completely free home. Contribution, either to the pard, housework, or running of Bellevue is needed. Callie supports the independence of her pard, and any pard member able to live on their own is strongly encouraged to do so.
Callie's bedroom and personal sitting room lie on the second floor. The third floor is a large attic, housing everything from old sports equipment to photo albums to furniture.

Bellevue's grounds are extensive, housing world class stables, a luxurious pool and sauna, and plenty of woodlands. Bellevue houses two pools- one indoor, and one outdoor. The indoor pool has a sauna and spa attached, while the outdoor pool has only a spa attached to it. Both pools and spas are heated. The indoor pool is at the rear of the house, in a spacious room with a glass ceiling. The outdoor pool lays to the side of house, with an entrance leading inside.
