More About This House
There are 12 large bedrooms and 12 1/2 luxurious baths along with a grand dining room, parlor, informal dining and living spaces and a chef’s dream kitchen. One of the baths includes very rare antique luxury shower that is one of the only ones in the world. There are two bathtubs that cost over $14,000 each. The drop-dead gorgeous master has a morning bar, amazing architectural features, and a bath worthy of the cover of a magazine. Five chimneys and twelve fireplaces modernized with remote controls.
The property sits on over 3 acres of gardens with a pool, gazebo, and pergola and with a 4-car historic carriage house.
This property is also income producing! There are three special operating permits already in place. Within just six years as a bed and breakfast, it won Top 10 Inns in the US and Southern Living’s Best of the South in 2018. As an event venue, it won Best of the Knot and the WeddingWire Couples Choice Award. There is also a third permit in place as a historic site to offer tours. With its tie to “Gone with the Wind” and to at least 15 other movies filmed at the mansion along with its designation as one of the top antebellum sites in Georgia, it could easily draw hundreds per day. Fourth, the property averages one to two movie or TV show contracts per year and also provides accommodations for cast. Or just live out your Scarlett and Rhett fantasy by living there.
Some furnishings may be purchased separately. Take it from Rhett Butler, “Take a good look my dear. It's an historic moment you can tell your grandchildren about.”
