Ben Affleck is selling his gorgeous southern antebellum Greek-revival Georgia plantation for $8.9 million through Engel & Volkers. It’s nicknamed “The Big House” and here’s why:
- It’s situated on 87 acres on Hampton Island.
- The main “Big House” is 6,000 square feet and has several stately fireplaces and 15-foot ceilings.
- There’s also a 10,000-square-foot guest house for 20 featuring five bedrooms and three master suites.
- The property includes a cottage.
The antebellum-style main house has four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms.
Located just 35 miles from Savannah, the historic-looking home is perfectly polished. Here’s a look inside:
The living room is elegant yet relaxed and inviting, thanks to the slipcovered sofas. The grand fireplace has a mirror hung over it that reflects the centerpiece of the room: the chandelier.
Reclaimed brick adds a historical feel to the home.
The open, airy kitchen has a relaxed feel. Large armoires and an island provide storage for pots, pans and china.
Large 25-foot columns and plenty of veranda area leads out to scenic views of the North Newport River.
A proper southern antebellum home isn’t complete without a collection of rocking chairs on the porch.
One of the bathrooms of the main house features a clawfoot tub and antique lighting.
Oyster House, the 10,000-square-foot guesthouse
The open floor plan guest house can sleep at least 20 guests. There are three master bedrooms and five bedrooms furnished with bunk beds.
