Property Description
More than two centuries of history. Over 50 acres of privacy. One extraordinary Georgia country estate. Dating to circa 1810 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the James C. Daniel House is a remarkable surviving example of Federal-style brick architecture, a style unusual in Georgia. Located near historic Washington along a quiet country road amid 50.2 acres, the property offers history, beauty, and privacy that simply cannot be recreated. The stately main residence retains the character and architectural presence of its early-19th-century origins while offering the comforts of modern living. Historic details, graciously proportioned rooms, high ceilings, and original character create a home equally suited to quiet country life and memorable gatherings with family and friends. Outside, the estate unfolds across more than 50 acres, with generous open lawn surrounding the home before giving way to wooded acreage. The setting offers exceptional privacy and a sense of escape increasingly difficult to find. A beautifully renovated two-bedroom guest house gives family and friends a private place of their own and adds tremendous flexibility to the estate. Nearby, the saltwater pool creates a resort-like setting for long summer afternoons, outdoor entertaining, and weekends spent at home. For those dreaming of a historic country retreat, second home, or full-time escape, this remarkable estate offers seclusion without sacrificing access to everyday life. Kettle Creek Battlefield is approximately 12 minutes away, historic downtown Washington approximately 16 minutes, downtown Athens approximately 55 minutes, and Augusta just over an hour away (hello, Masters!). Properties combining this degree of history, acreage, architectural distinction, a separate guest residence, and a pool are exceptionally rare. More than simply a home, this is an opportunity to become the next steward of an extraordinary piece of Georgia history.
