Calling all hunters,outdoor
enthusiasts, andespecially those withdeep, deep pockets.
About 130 milessouth of Atlanta, offInterstate 16, a 1840sClassic Revival homemarks the beginning ofmuch to enjoy on thispeaceful, 8,409-acreestate. (In terms ofacres, that’s more thanall City of Atlanta parksput together, timestwo.) Known as Whitehall Plantation, this propertyhas long served as a retreat for the wealthy.
The historic 3,150-square-foot home was recentlyrestored, and it features an updated kitchen, livingroom, dining room, parlor, and office. Marketingmaterials don’t specify bedroom and bathroomcounts; after all, it’s what’s beyond the centerpiecehouse that counts.
Along with the main house, you’ll find an 1880slakeside lodge with four bedrooms and fourbathrooms and a boathouse with three bedrooms,bathrooms, a kitchen, dining area, and living room.
Oh, and don’t forget the1,200-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bathroomlakeside cabin.
The result is plentyof space for guests whocome to take advantageof the naturalsurroundings: a 159-acre private lake, a7-acre pond, severalsmaller ponds, 3.6 milesof Rocky Creek, 1.3miles of Crooked Creek,and more than 4,000acres of quail woods.
An outdoorsy person’s dream, basically. It all bodes well for those who want to enjoy quail
hunting in addition to turkey and deer hunting, plusfishing.
But wait! There’s more!The property also features a six-trap skeet range,
a billiards and recreation cabin, and a grass-stripairplane runway.
For those worried about covering the day-to-daycost of owning such a property, there’s also an onsitefarming and sod operation, with approximately 2,293acres of farmland and an extensive inventory ofinfrastructure and equipment to support it.
All of this could belong to anyone who canscrounge up the current asking price of $39 million.With this price tag, the property knocks Tyler Perry’sformer Buckhead home out of the top spot as mostexpensive listing in the state.
In fact, it almost makes that property, which wasrecently discounted to a mere $21 million, lookaffordable. Almost.
