The focal point of Belle Grove is the bright, classic Southern estate home. The house, built in 1898, was originally constructed in downtown Madison, FL, where it served as an event and gathering space for the community. In the late 1980s, it was professionally relocated to its current location on the private, manicured grounds of 157 +/- acres west of town. The estate was completely renovated in 2020 with an eye toward preserving and enhancing the historical and architectural significance of the house, while modernizing key systems and components. It is now a 4-bedroom, 2-full + 2-half bath, 3,845 sq. ft. (h/c) home with formal dining and seating areas, lounges, upgraded kitchen, and large open and screened porches. It is being offered FULLY FURNISHED.* The home is perfect for a single-family residence or a gathering and event space. The house was literally made for entertaining, and the recent updates make this one of the most attractive and functional historic homes available. With the included period furniture and art, it is move-in ready.
