Property Description

The Perkins Homeplace - 1886 Historic Brick Farmhouse on 27.5 Acres Built in 1886, the Perkins Homeplace is a rare surviving example of a solid-brick rural farmhouse with triple-thick masonry walls and a remarkable construction story tied to the Charleston earthquake of the same year. Originally intended as a two-story, four-over-four residence, the home was redesigned as a single-story dwelling after the quake cracked the southeast corner of the partially built structure. Evidence uncovered during the 2005-06 renovation confirms that the rear kitchen was added later, with misaligned floors, modified joinery, and a cut-through doorway all revealing the evolution of the home's footprint. Architectural clues-including a wide 9.5-foot central hall and a former doorway where a window now sits-suggest the original plan likely included a detached kitchen and staircase.This charming, historic brick farmhouse sits on 27.5 scenic acres surrounded by pastoral beauty. A mature oak canopy, established boxwoods, and open pasture set an idyllic tone from the moment you arrive. A circular drive leads to the stately covered front porch with classic columns, welcoming you into a beautifully preserved interior. The central foyer is flanked by double parlors, each with gas fireplaces, original plaster walls, and elongated windows that reflect the home's 19th-century craftsmanship. The spacious formal dining room, also with a fireplace, is ideal for entertaining. The centrally located and updated kitchen features a gas cooktop, double ovens, stainless steel refrigerator, granite countertops, and its own fireplace-a blend of historic charm and modern convenience. A large sunroom with tile floors offers serene natural light and views of the surrounding acreage. A full bath sits conveniently near the kitchen and den, while the cozy den includes built-ins, a fireplace, and access to both the rear patio and covered back porch. The main-level master suite is a spacious addition with a walk-in closet, soaking tub, double sinks, and separate shower. Upstairs, one additional bedroom and a full bath provide privacy for guests or family. The grounds offer an exceptional collection of outbuildings and infrastructure. A dairy barn with cement floor, electricity, and water is ideal for hobby farming or storage. The two-story, two-car detached garage includes electricity, a separate bay, and a floored upper level. A three-sided open outbuilding with a tin roof is perfect for hay storage. Additional features include a propane tank, electric water heater, two wells, and a septic system. Nature lovers will appreciate the mature pecan, peach, crab apple, and walnut trees, along with a thriving fig bush. A small on-site family cemetery adds to the historic authenticity of the property. The land is enrolled in conservation, offering potential tax benefits while protecting the property's rural character. Perfectly situated, the home is only 15 minutes from Madison's historic downtown square, 10 minutes to Lake Oconee, and 25 minutes to the University of Georgia and Athens.
