Established in 1873, The Great Hill Plantation offers 329+/- acres of rolling lawns, dense woodlands, shaded groves, formal gardens and a picturesque lake. The recently built Georgian Style Plantation home impresses with two facades, each equally grand. Classical elements include fluted Corinthian columns, exterior dentil molding, a grand entablature, sweeping limestone balustrades and a cupola-topped copper rotunda. Dual brick staircases cascade down from the curved covered entry where Palladian windows flood the interior with light. Delightful symmetry and balanced proportions create an esthetically pleasing exterior, which gives way to the enchanting interior. The round entry foyer impresses with an incredible rotunda showcasing an upper gallery with paired columns supporting clerestory windows topped with a domed ceiling. Playful Rubenesque putti adorned the domed ceiling and create an old-world European ambiance. Extensive molding and millwork exhibit incredible old world craftsmanship rarely seen in modern homes. Hardwood, heart pine, and mahogany inlay floors aid in grounding the main level, while dual staircases gently ascend to the upper level, drawing the eye upward. Built for grand entertaining, the living spaces in this palatial estate boast soaring ceilings with fine millwork adorning high elevations. Stately windows, rich hardwood floors and elegant chandeliers create opulence and a sense of grandeur. Top-of-the-line fixtures and finishes are found throughout, as are extensive hand-painted murals.
