This gracious classic southern home stands proudly just outside the City Limits of Historic Washington, Georgia on lands referred to in the earliest deeds from George Walton to Thomas Wingfield 1794, as the "land on the ridge". When the wealthy young Nicholas Long came from North Carolina to live in Washington and begin his large land dealings, he bought this property, built (or added to) the original dwelling and named his country seat "Belmont". Nicholas long was a town leader, an active politician in early Georgia affairs and said to be by a newspaper, " the most accomplished Southern gentleman." Through the passing of time this prestigious plantation has been home to many prominent families including the Callaway and Telfair families! It was the scene of the brilliant marriage festivities in 1806 of Margaret Long to Thomas Telfair, the son of Governor Telfair. Home to the Thomas Callaway family in the 1840's, many a fine Sunday picnic was host on its spacious grounds which even to this day continue to have an array of old period plantings, trees, flowering shrubs and blooms along with its carriage stepping stone. Prior to the present owners the home had remained in the same Wilkes County family for some 82 years, passed down generation after generation.


Lovingly renovated by the present owners, the home continues to peacefully watch over the lands on the ridge. It is flanked on each side by beautiful green hay fields and shaded by massive oaks . There is a small vineyard and a variety of wonderful weathered century old barns from two story with lofts to mule stables. Mature hardwoods cover the rear of the property as it falls to quiet flowing stream. The atmosphere is that of a much simpler place and time.
