Magnolia

Property
Details

Magnolia was originally constructed in 1892 as the winter residence for Geo S. Dana of Utica, NY. Its prime location was selected as it bordered both Hollywood (also know as Paradise Plantation) and the pristine lands that were soon to become Millpond. Situated directly across the street was the newly established Glen Arven Country Club which served as an exotic game park and would become Georgia’s oldest member only golf course. In 1934, the property underwent a significant renovation that transformed the home’s simple southern vernacular style to a much more dignified estate with a dramatic circular stairwell, ornate custom moldings, grand, formal living spaces and covered verandahs.

Today the house and grounds consist of over 14 acres, with a style and location that is just as enviable now as it was over a century ago. The prominent home consists of approximately 6600 square feet and retains most all of the original architectural elements and details. The wooded acreage creates a rare sanctuary within the city limits of Thomasville. A winding trail through the property meanders down to private pond. The potential for this landmarked house and grounds is truly limitless. Though in need of restoration, Magnolia represents the opportunity to own one of Thomasville’s last great legacy estates, as very few homes of this caliber, situated on such significant acreage exist in this marketplace.
