Ardmore, once a thriving railroad community known for its cane syrup and pine resin, was at its peak in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The original farm comprised some 250 acres but over the last few years the current owner has added over 100 acres by purchasing contiguous parcels. The property and its picturesque equestrian setting are second to none in southeast Georgia.

Great efforts were made to keep the homes original design and southern charm but updating its utility to accommodate 21st century living.
