HISTORIC WASHINGTON, GEORGIA

Holly Ridge, a sprawling 5,000+ SF (5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms) Victorian farmhouse positioned on 10 acres just a short drive from Historic Washington, Georgia, has lived many impressive lives and is ready to be revived once again!

The original grandeur of the home remains thanks to the quality materials used to construct this home in the 1890s by the Wilkinson Family, one of the storied founding families of Wilkes County directly descended from the region’s earliest settlers of nearby Heard’s Fort. Original hardwood floors shine along wide center hallways leading to the bedrooms, parlors, and a large formal dining area with ornate moulding, mantels, bay windows, stained glass, and other original Victorian detailing throughout belying the home’s impressive beginnings. Wide wrap-around porches add a welcoming rural touch to the grand historic home.

Perfectly at home alongside its two historic barns on Sandtown Road, it's hard to imagine this home anywhere else but, in a visionary move by local preservationists, Holly Ridge was saved from its fate of housing hay on a nearby farm when it was transported five miles to its current location in the mid-1980s and transformed into a well-loved family home. Later, a Federal-style house would also be moved to the site and attached to the rear of the home to give the beloved home yet another new life as a popular country inn hosting weddings, large gatherings, and guests from throughout the United States. In 2012, the rear addition was removed to return the home to its original historic configuration, which remains today.

Now, Holly Ridge is ripe for its next transformation! Will you rise to the challenge? Come ready to imagine the grand future this unique property deserves!
