Filed under: Estates

Today's home in Savannah, Georgia was built in 1857 for William F.Brantley and designed by John Norris. The historic residence had a beautiful renovation in 2009 and won an ASID award, a 2009 award from the Georgia Trust and a Preservation Award in 2008 from the Historic Savannah Foundation. It deserves it, the lovely five-bedroom home has been very elegantly redone. It is located in the Historic District near Forsyth Park and has a garden level with guest suite, craft room, butler's pantry and exercise room. The formal living room, dining room, family room, private office and kitchen are located on the parlor level and several rooms have custom plaster crown molding and ceiling medallions. The master suite has his and her baths and a grand dressing room. Wide porches overlook a courtyard and the three-car garage carriage house offers a sitting room, guest room, full bath and powder room. This home is listed at $5.5 million.

The 62-acre estate includes four villas, the chapel and event facilities as well as a 15-suite lodge. The estate takes its name from a 100 foot waterfall. The property also boasts two mountaintop vistas with views across several states. The stone and wood lodge includes outdoor fireplaces and terraces with views over the waterfalls.

Descante, Estate of the Day

When I was a child it always seemed to me like it would be a good gig to write for soap operas. Scripting all those weddings and amnesia attacks and dramatic returns from the dead seemed like so much fun. And apparently, if you work at it long enough you can make quite a tidy profit. Behold the home of Bridget and Jerry Dobson who wrote for a variety of soap operas and created the soap opera Santa Barbara (perhaps most famous for launching the career of Robin Wright Penn). Mrs. Dobson later had a career as a painter.The Dobsons built their home in the Buckhead area of Atlanta in 1997. The massive home sits on four acres in Tuxedo Park and has been done up to the nines with the most lavish of details. It has seven bedrooms. 11.5 baths and an unabashedly classic and romantic style. It is listed at $19 million and the annual taxes alone are in the six figures. After the jump, the home that Bridget Dobson calls the house that fantasy built.
