Description
Own a slice of Silverhill, AL history! Two lovely homes with a combined 4,000 sq ft. of living space, plus over 6,000 sq ft of barn/storage space, grace this 42.2 acres +/- Baldwin County Historic Farm estate. Centrally located with endless recreational opportunities, this property is a recently designated “Alabama Treasure Forest” with beautifully maintained trails and green fields for hiking, riding, or hunting, and a picturesque spring-fed pond chocked full of bream and turtles. The cold and clear Perone Branch, which flows into the nearby Fish River, creates the property’s eastern border. From the moment you drive through the ½ mile canopy of towering live oaks, you will feel the magic of Perone Creek Farm!
The traditionally designed custom three bedroom, 3.5 bath, 2842 sq ft. main house built in 1986 and remodeled in 2015 boasts of solid 2 x 6 construction adorned with re-purposed antique elements from the property’s original farmhouse, including hand-hewn ceiling beams in the spacious kitchen/sitting area, refinished wainscoting, and a working turn-of-the-century wood stove for chilly winter mornings. The entire home is finished with solid pine doors and new 2024 windows for watching the sun rise over your bahia grass meadows. A terracotta-tiled sun room with its own bathroom, shower, and closet can be used as a 4th bedroom with a private entrance. Enjoy entertaining on the covered veranda, with room for seating and grilling adjacent to a lovely stone fire pit area. A stroll across the lawn leads you to the 1152 sq ft. guest/caretaker’s cottage built in 2009, which is currently a 5-star income-producing B&B. This 1-bedroom, 1-bath home is complete with a porch swing, laundry room, walk-in closet, whole-house generator, carport, and tons of privacy!
Originally established in 1919 as a dairy farm, an array of well-maintained historic buildings gives this property its special character and rustic charm. With quarried stone root cellar foundations, the antique buildings have ample recreation/hobby/venue development possibilities, including a covered west-facing stage area, currently used for viewing sunsets, outdoor dining and music performances. A hobbyist’s dream 1,000 sq ft. barn contains both a wood-working shop and a masterfully remodeled 2024 temperature-controlled art/pottery studio, which could also be converted to an additional living space. Store your farm equipment or RV in the newer enclosed metal pole barn. This amazing property is perfect for equestrian enthusiasts, with beautiful fields for grazing, a tack barn, stables, and private riding trails. Enjoy a peaceful country life, yet live conveniently 22 miles to Gulf Coast beaches, 15 minutes to Daphne and Fairhope, 2 hours to New Orleans, and less than an hour to Mobile and Pensacola airports.
