Splurge: Rare Opportunity To Own Estill Manor In Starland District For $1.495M

This historic manor is not for the faint of heart! In fact, it’s a majestic beauty with all the trappings of a classic Savannah home. According to the listing this is, “A rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored, historic manor home, with seductive, manicured grounds, including an English Garden, swimming pool, and private side porch in one of the most sought after areas in Savannah.” The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom stunner affords a flexible floor plan designed towards easy living but with what the listing calls, “an eye toward a Bed & Breakfast/event space concept.” Among the highlights are an exposed brick wine cellar, a detached six-plus-car-garage, and separate parking pad all within the fully-fenced property gates. It’s also close to the popular Starland District with easy access to Forsyth Park and downtown Savannah. Properties like this are tough to find.
