3800 Athens Highway

Madison, Georgia, 30650 United States

This spectacular country estate on 114 acres was designed for comfort and sanctuary and captivates at every turn. The personal home of a leading designer, this property features a lifetime collection of European and American architectural elements brought together to form the story of Camp Boxwoods. A quarter mile private paved drive meanders through woods and past an incredible stable to dramatically reveal the main house. The approach crosses a stone bridge over two ponds leading to the primary dwelling and 1860s guest cottage all sited in formal boxwood and vegetable gardens with pond and pasture views. Additional buildings include a greenhouse, boathouse, dovecote, chicken house, and a three-story stable with living quarters. Interior spaces include a spacious entrance foyer, formal living and dining room that can seat over 20 guests, designer kitchen, two guest suites on the main level, and multiple covered porches overlooking ponds, formal gardens, and fields. The gracious principal rooms feature high beamed ceilings, wood burning fireplaces, wide plank wood floors and antique architectural trim. A finished basement is accessed through a hidden door in the conservatory and includes a home theatre. An existing barn provides covered parking, and an additional workshop space and room for a two car garage are located under the recently re-located guest house. The 114 acres consists of rolling pastures, ponds, riding trails, and wooded areas for privacy. Located between Athens and Madison in desirable Morgan County, Georgia, this extraordinary estate is approximately one hour from Atlanta and Hartsfield International Airport. The charming shops and eateries of historic downtown Madison, bustling Athens, and the Ritz-Carlton Lake Oconee are a short drive yet worlds away from this idyllic sanctuary. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of Georgias most exceptional estates.
