Frankly my dear, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the finest and most famous historic mansions in the US. Named one of the Top 10 Antebellum Sites in GA, Twelve Oaks is on the National Register. Experience the South like Scarlett or Rhett as you sit on the veranda and enjoy your lemonade.

There are 12 large bedrooms and 12 1/2 luxurious baths along with a grand dining room, parlor, informal dining and living spaces and a chef's dream kitchen. One of the baths includes very rare antique luxury shower that is one of the only ones in the world. There are two bathtubs that cost over each. The drop-dead gorgeous master has a morning bar, amazing architectural features, and a bath worthy of the cover of a magazine. Five chimneys and twelve fireplaces modernized with remote controls.

The property sits on over 3 acres of gardens with a pool, gazebo, and pergola and with a 4-car historic carriage house. The property is in beautiful Covington, GA, (in the Atlanta Metro area) within an easy, beautiful walk to the historic town square full of shopping and award-winning dining. Covington is known as the Hollywood of the South; over 125 movies and TV shows that have been filmed there. This is an area of exceptional growth; some new businesses coming to town include a data center for Facebook and a new pharmaceutical plant. Covington is conveniently located with both a regional airport within Covington and an international airport just 38 miles away.

This property is also income producing. There are three special operating permits already in place. Within just six years as a bed and breakfast, it won Top 10 Inns in the US and Southern Living's Best of the South in 2018. As an event venue, it won Best of the Knot and the WeddingWire Couples Choice Award. There is also a third permit in place as a historic site to offer tours. With its tie to “Gone with the Wind” and to at least 15 other movies filmed at the mansion along with its designation as one of the top antebellum sites in Georgia, it could easily draw hundreds per day. Fourth, the property averages one to two movie or TV show contracts per year and also provides accommodations for cast. Or just live out your Scarlett and Rhett fantasy by living there.

Some furnishings may be purchased separately. Take it from Rhett Butler, “Take a good look my dear. It's an historic moment you can tell your grandchildren about.”
