106 N Laurel Ave, Greensboro, Georgia — $4,950,000
5 bedrooms | 4.5 baths | 6,700 sq. ft. | Built 1874 | 155 acres | Davis House Estate
Built in 1874 for Greensboro businessman Charles Alfred Davis, The Davis House Estate is an extraordinary historic residence set across approximately 155 contiguous acres within the city of Greensboro.
Two gated entrances with copper gas lanterns lead to a formal circular drive and a grand brick residence distinguished by Italianate influences, terra-cotta cornice detailing, a wide central hall, grand staircase, and octagonal office.
Inside, 13-foot ceilings, restored heart-pine floors, elaborate plaster moldings, and fourteen fireplaces preserve the extraordinary scale and craftsmanship of the nineteenth century. Yet the estate has been thoughtfully updated, with a new slate roof, modern plumbing and electrical systems, high-efficiency heating and cooling, and a whole-house generator.
The kitchen is a remarkable blend of historic atmosphere and contemporary luxury, featuring floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a rolling library ladder, a 60-inch Wolf dual-fuel range, steam oven, warming drawer, double dishwashers, and a Sub-Zero-equipped butler’s pantry.
Beyond the main house, the grounds include a heated pool and pool house, fenced pasture, hardwood forest, riding trails, hunting stands, stocked ponds, and frontage along Richland Creek.
Approximately 100 acres are described as having CPUD zoning with access to municipal water and sewer, adding an unusual dimension of flexibility to this expansive estate. For a buyer seeking more than a beautiful old house, The Davis House offers the rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of Greensboro history where nineteenth-century architecture, modern luxury, and an extraordinary landscape remain together as one estate.
