Ponder Place Estate -the epitome of Southern Charm- is an architecturally significant 1903 Colonial Revival mansion set on 2 parcels of nearly three private acres in the heart of lovely historic Rutledge, 45 minutes outside of Atlanta and minutes from Madison. Recognized with an official county historical plaque, this distinguished 5,000 sq ft 4BD / 3BA residence is characterized by its monumental two-story portico, 31 classical columns, and sweeping 2,000 sq ft wraparound veranda. Extensively restored and renovated within the past year, period craftsmanship has been preserved with care and respect. Hand-tooled wood ceilings, original heart pine floors, soaring 12-14 foot ceilings, and nine original ornate fireplace mantels create interiors of architectural depth and elegance. The grounds are equally compelling with mature pecan and oak trees, while established gardens and layered plantings provide privacy and year-round beauty. Spanning two contiguous parcels, the property includes a detached outbuilding currently serving as a rustic artist's studio-there is potential for an executive office, guest quarters, or a private creative space. Open flat acreage offers flexibility for recreation or light equestrian use. Designed by a film director and an artist, the estate is offered furnished and includes a cinema room and a meticulously curated collection of unique and bespoke furnishings and antiques. Located in Morgan County, known for its distinguished school system, and minutes from a state park with lakes, sand swimming beach, equestrian, biking and hiking trails, golf, and parkland. Close to Madison, recently named "one of the prettiest towns in the South" by Southern Living, with its celebrated historic district, array of top-notch dining, and boutiques. Rutledge's quaint yet vibrant small-town setting offers a cafe, diner, historic hardware store, and live music in the town park series all just a short stroll away. Ponder Place Estate offers a rare opportunity to steward a landmark Southern estate of architectural integrity and lasting distinction.
