Description
Historically known as the Pope House in Monticello - originally built in 1861 this home has been returned to its former glory and beauty! The home has the charm of the era with the conveniences of today, Oak Hardwood Flooring, Tin Roof, Modern but tasteful Paint, Newer Appliances, New Septic and water heater, updated furnace and insulation and Newer Cabinets (installed 2023)! We kept the style of the original home with all new features! Electrical, wiring, panels, fixtures and Service updated 2023. Plumbing, including water lines, waste lines, and all fixtures also installed 2023. HVAC was installed 2023 with energy efficient AC, heat pump, and all new duct work! The Popes were a prominent family in Monticello and currently the world class Hunter Pope Country Club is named from the same family. The early settlers chose to name the town Monticello in honor of President Thomas Jefferson as Virginia estate. Jasper county is known as the Deer Capital of Georgia. While agriculture has always played an important role in the economy, many of the original farms were sold to the U.S. Government and now make up much of the Oconee National Forest which consist of 867,000 acres of preserved forest. Jasper county is also home to the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center where you can enjoy biking, bird watching, canoeing, fishing, hiking, hunting, and camping. This property has the best of both worlds being in the city of Monticello and surrounded by hundreds of thousands of undisturbed acres to enjoy year round! This home offers so much more than we can list - with modern amenities and historic charm, high ceilings, old doors that have been refinished and original windows this is a must see. Check out the photos of when renovation was completed and home was vacant as well the update decorated (lived in) finishes.
