(23+ Acres Four Houses including Historic Reproduction, Log Cabin and much, much more) A Rare opportunity awaits……. Chestnut Hill This unique property, with beautiful hardwoods, springs, and a creek on its gently rolling terrain, hosts four homes with significant history and a storied past. As you walk onto the grounds and its pathways and drives, lined with split rail fences and rock knee-walls, you will see a hand-hewn cabin with a stone fireplace, modern kitchen, and conveniences among the estate's many structures. Dr. Jay Herbert “Herb” West (an Interlocgical Doctor) and his wife Beverly (a Southern American Antique Expert) were passionate about everything they did, whether through their vocations, volunteering, time with family and friends, or deep indulgence in their hobbies. Their work was a work of many passions, with a love for bringing the past back to life. Whether it was the reconstruction of the main house, a historical Farmhouse from Bonaire, Georgia, built originally in the 1820s and designed by the renowned Architect James “Jimmy” Means (Georgia’s Own), one of his last projects, the West took on the challenge of a 10-year scavenger hunt over multiple states for the authentic restoration material and architectural elements, all poured into this authentic, exceptional, purest reproduction farmhouse over thirteen years. A walk through the meticulously done rebuilding of the historic house on the hill will impress you with its attention to detail, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Whether it was their efforts to preserve history by giving a new home to the Roswell Chamber of Commerce building, “The Milton House.” Formerly located on what’s now Mansel Road, where Herman Miller furniture headquarters sits today. Or they were preserving a structure that was initially the county store in the former county of Milton. In the pasture below were the Highland-Sottish Games (including The Toss of Caber, The Hammer Throw, The Hill Race, and The Toss of a Bail of Hay over the bar), and always included a bag-piper and the occasional highland dancers, which were held for many years with family and friends, watched over by the King and Queen of the estate in full regalia, who would arrive and depart in a Bentley loaned from the local Roswell Bentley dealership. Another infamous event held by the Wests was the annual Corn Boils, where Silver Queen corn was featured. Due to its popularity, Dr. West harvested it from the on-property garden the morning of the event, which grew from a single day to multiple weekends. The main house on the hill among the oaks overlooks the estate, surrounded by several outbuildings, including a barn with hayloft and a jewelry workshop (active from the 1970s until 2010) by Dr. West, with jewels and Opals hand-selected from the mines of Australia and Mexico. Other buildings and structures include corncribs, sheds, and a children's playhouse, among many other structures. The fenced property includes 23.165 acres, three houses, a log cabin, a spring feed creek, and a well. Make this your family compound, including potentially New Build(s) on the property, or sell multiple additional building sites from the whole. You can also develop the property into a new development, donate the historical structures for tax and community appreciation benefits, or sell them to reduce your basis in the property. This is among the rarest opportunities in the beautiful high-end community of Milton, Fulton County, Georgia. The home has been acclaimed and held by the Roswell and Milton Historical Societies, along with inclusion in many books, i.e., The Architecture of James R. Mean Georgia Classicist by William R. Mitchel Jr., A Golden Coast Book for Southern Architecture Foundation, Inc., The Houses of James Means, Living the Country Life, Barns of Old Milton County by Robert Meyers, and countless articles over time, including Southern Living, Better Homes & Gardens, Southern Homes.
