It's what everyone is searching for-land, established landscaping, a rocking chair front porch, and peaceful country living. This exceptional circa-1905 home sits on approximately 15 beautiful acres in the desirable Fairplay community, conveniently located near Hard Labor Creek State Park, as well as Monroe, Madison, and Athens. Rich in character and history, the home was thoughtfully restored after being moved and restored blending timeless architectural charm with modern comfort. A wide, wraparound front porch welcomes you into a gracious entrance hall featuring soaring 11-foot ceilings and gorgeous heart pine floors that continue throughout the home. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the main level offers a formal living room with fireplace, elegant dining room with fireplace, a handsome library with built-in bookcases, and a spacious family-style great room perfect for gathering and movie nights. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath floorplan includes a serene owner's suite on the main level with direct access to a screened porch-ideal for enjoying quiet mornings and bird watching. Upstairs, you'll find two oversized bedrooms connected by a shared bath, offering comfortable accommodations for family or guests. The light-filled kitchen is exactly what you would hope for in a peaceful country retreat, featuring beautiful custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, abundant workspace, and a large walk-in pantry sure to delight any cook. An attached garage includes its own electric vehicle charging station, while the finished space above offers flexibility for a private office, gym, studio, or additional storage. Outside, the manicured grounds are equally impressive with raised garden beds, fruit trees, partial fencing, a creek, and multiple outbuildings suitable for storage, workshop space, or stables. Adding even more value and versatility is a beautifully designed second home offering 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Modern, open, and airy, the guest house creates the perfect juxtaposition to the historic main residence and would make an ideal in-law suite, caretaker's cottage, artist studio, guest retreat, or income-producing rental property. A rare opportunity to own a truly special property offering history, privacy, acreage, and timeless Southern charm-all in an ideal location. Please note this property consists of two tax parcels.
