Federal Style home built in 1808 & 1828. Homeplace to nationally renowned landscape artist, Francis Speight, born on the plantation in 1896. This home was so dear to Francis that he had it placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1982. There is very detailed original molding, wainscoting, and mantels throughout the home. Most rooms also have original heart pine floors. Large porches offer wonderful views of the yard in every direction.    

An eight year restoration project by the current owners was completed in 2004. They added a modern kitchen and 2 baths with cabinetry and fixtures that are in keeping with the period of the home. Insulation of all walls and ceilings was maximized and solar heat is used as well. Exterior painted fall 2007, copper roof, new brick underpinning. There are a few projects left if you want to add to this home's majesty.

Other buildings include an 1850's guest cottage that was an office which now has 1 bedroom, one bath, living room, and full dine-in kitchen. Also, an antebellum kitchen and old smokehouse. There is a formal garden on the private grounds that are surrounded by mature tree lines. Just one visit and you will fall in love with this old country jewel.
