Property Description
Gracefully set on 4.13+/- exquisitely landscaped acres, the Johnston-Wilson House, circa 1913, is a rare and distinguished offering for the preservation minded buyer who values architectural heritage, privacy, and timeless Southern elegance. Nested in a pecan grove on a quiet road just south of Madison, Georgia, this charming cottage is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a legacy homestead in one of Georgia’s most sought-after historic areas. Meticulously and thoughtfully restored in 2017, the residence underwent a comprehensive renovation including all-new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, seamlessly blending modern comfort with preserved period character. Constructed entirely of heart pine, the home’s original heart pine floors, walls, and ceilings create a richness and authenticity rarely found today. The 1,500-square-foot center hall cottage offers two bedrooms and one bath, enhanced by soaring 11-foot ceilings and four original fireplaces that lend architectural distinction throughout. The sunroom, anchored by a new wood-burning stove, provides an inviting retreat in every season. The fully renovated kitchen (2023) is a true centerpiece, thoughtfully curated with custom craftsman-fabricated maple countertops, new premium appliances, and an extraordinary restored 1932 Wedgewood range imported from Los Angeles, offering both functionality and historic charm. Throughout the home, the original wood windows have been expertly restored by a noted local craftsman, preserving the residence’s architectural integrity. Outdoors, the property unfolds as a private garden sanctuary with mature specimen landscaping, heritage fruit trees, and a charming grapevine arbor. Expansive front and rear porches invite gracious Southern living, while a large private outdoor shower adds a luxurious, resort-inspired touch. The new tin roof, installed in 2026, further enhances the property’s enduring quality and craftsmanship. For the collector, hobbyist, or lifestyle buyer, the main barn is fully powered, lighted, and plumbed with water, offering ideal space for luxury automobiles, recreational vehicles, workshop use, or an EV charging setup. A second barn provides additional storage and utility space. Further underscoring its significance, the Johnston-Wilson House was featured in a 2023 publication celebrating remarkable historic homes, a testament to its architectural importance and enduring beauty. A rare opportunity to own a published and fully restored historic estate, this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of provenance, luxury updates, privacy, and timeless Southern charm in Madison.
