Description

Own a piece of history in Buford, Georgia, as featured in Mansion Global and Robb Report. The Bona Allen Mansion Estate encompasses the main house, four additional buildings and a tennis court. Designed by Georgia architect Haralson Bleckley and built in 1911 by T.C. Wesley and Sons, the inspired Italian Villa-style home with cream brick and red clay tiles is 6 acres surrounded by lush landscaping and ornate iron fencing. Rich with history, the main house is 9,000 square feet with nine-foot ceilings throughout. Upon entering the two-story foyer, you are greeted by one of seven fireplaces in the mansion; above is the original mural of Castello Villa France in South Rome. The main level consists of a game room, a fireside formal dining room, a grand office with a fireplace and built-in bookshelves flanked by a porch and a large, updated kitchen with a butler's pantry. Original details found throughout include nine-foot wooden pocket doors to separate each room if desired, intricate crown molding and woodwork and two grand staircases, one in the kitchen and one in the foyer, leading to the upstairs. The main staircase leads to the mezzanine level, which currently showcases guitars. The property was once an event venue that utilized the mezzanine for dining. Also upstairs is the owner's retreat that is flanked by a large bathroom and a closet that dreams are made of. The 1,200 square foot gym with exposed brick and 13-foot-high ceilings is located inside the previous carriage house. The gated courtyard centered behind the house would be ideal for a pool. Boasting a guest house, The Tennis Lodge, which is complete with a full-size kitchen and bathroom, and is approximately 700+/- square feet, plus extensive parking on the cobblestone drive, make this property a perfect location for entertaining. Two other buildings are used for storage and tools. One of which was previously the "smokehouse," where meat was cooked and then taken to the cellar doors that connects to the unfinished terrace level (once was the kitchen that held the dumbwaiter). The owners originally purchased the Bona Allen Mansion in 2015 for their company when it was zoned commercial. Currently zoned residential, the owners occupy the property and had the red clay tile roof completely replaced by the original company in Chicago that manufactured the tiles in 1911. This property is in the heart of downtown Buford with walkability to the amphitheater, restaurants and boutiques, moments to Lake Lanier, and in the award-winning Buford City Schools district.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from June 05, 2023

    "Exceptional festivals are always held downtown Buford by BCSS. Our Buford community center always has concerts for adults as well as other events. It’s always a sensational location to get cardio in. Our community is accommodated with a splash pad for the littles. I would love to see more for kids though— A small fair perhaps? Bouncy house event? Egg hunt during easter? An addition of swings and a slide would not be terrible. Other than that, beautiful and safe community everyone is kind and caring. "
