Located in Covington, Georgia, the 11,000-square-foot Greek Revival mansion was built in 1836. Though it fell into disrepair after 1940, a $2 million renovation completed in 2017 upgraded the electrical systems, installed new HVAC, added baths, renovated the kitchen and more.
The lot measures more than 3 acres and includes gardens, a pool, a gazebo, a pergola and a 4-car garage inside a historic carriage house. There are Tesla and Copper Creek charging stations for cars and golf carts, which are allowed on the streets of the area.
