A Timeless South Georgia Masterpiece
This remarkable 45.827-acre estate combines timeless architecture, modern upgrades, and beautifully maintained grounds to create an extraordinary South Georgia retreat. Designed in 1999 by Jack Wilson, partner of renowned architect Frank McCall, the custom two-story residence offers 5,434 heated square feet with three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, wide heart-pine flooring, detailed moldings, and four masonry fireplaces. Expansive front and rear porches, a 702-square-foot attached garage, and a porte cochere enhance the home's classic Southern architecture.
Inside, a grand foyer illuminated by Scandinavian chandeliers welcomes you to elegant living and dining rooms, a richly paneled library with fireplace, and French doors opening to the porches. The newly renovated gourmet kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with Thermador appliances, a built-in plumbed coffee system, dual dish drawers, crushed-ice maker, custom heart-pine cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and updated lighting throughout.
The spacious upstairs primary suite features a fireplace, luxurious renovated bath with dual vanities, frameless shower, soaking tub, and two walk-in closets. Two additional oversized bedrooms share an updated full bath, while a generous upstairs landing provides flexible space for a home office, media room, or reading area.
The professionally landscaped grounds are fully enclosed with wood plantation fencing and include an enclosed pecan orchard, a separate 4-acre pasture, and a picturesque 5-acre pond. Two deep wells—a 5 HP residential well and a dedicated agricultural well—support the home and an extensive 16-zone irrigation system. Additional improvements include a serviced residential elevator, a new automatic security gate, a new downstairs 5-ton HVAC system with ductwork, updated upstairs HVAC components, and replaced registers and grilles.
Located just 2 miles south of Fitzgerald, the property offers the serenity of country living without sacrificing convenience. I-75 is approximately 30 minutes away, providing easy access to Tifton, Cordele, Douglas, Albany, and Valdosta, while Macon is about 1 hour and 45 minutes away and Atlanta is less than a 3-hour drive, making this an ideal full-time residence or weekend retreat. Its central South Georgia location also offers convenient access to regional airports, healthcare, shopping, and dining while preserving the privacy and charm of a premier country estate.
