Description

Southern Beauty! Welcome to Dixie Manor, one of Covingtons most iconic homes! Built in 1838 by Judge Thomas Jones, it is the only two storey antebellum brick home in Covington. With soaring 12 foot ceilings, 10 fireplaces, original heart pine floors, and Italian chandeliers from the home of Jean Paul Gaultier, Dixie Manor has a distinct, luxurious feel. The home has beautiful symmetry, and features 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 staircases, and 7 foot windows throughout, creating extraordinary volume and light. Relax in the library or gorgeous sunroom, or maybe sip champagne from the balcony that overlooks the picturesque, golf cart friendly town. Sitting on two acres that include a salt water pool, walled garden and original outhouse, the gardens are old world and enchanting. A beautiful, secluded oasis, whilst only a short walk to the historic, storybook town of Covington, with its bustling restaurants and stylish boutiques. Dixie Manor has featured in several tv shows, including In the Heat of the Night, The Vampire Diaries and more recently as Rebekah Michaelsons home in The Originals. Covington is well known for being camera ready, and has been the backdrop for many shows and movies, such as Sweet Magnolias, Dukes of Hazzard, Halloween and many more. The size and history of Dixie lends itself to several opportunities. It is currently listed on Air BnB where it receives excellent reviews, but is equally suited to being a majestic home or BnB. Dixie has been a beloved family home for nearly 200 years, and her Australian owner is now ready to pass the baton to a new family. Don't miss this opportunity to become a part of the history of Dixie Manor!
