Description
Historic Charm. Endless Possibilities. Unmatched Location. Welcome to 815 S. Center Street, one of Thomaston's most distinctive properties, where history, character, and opportunity come together on 2.29 acres in the heart of Upson County. Known locally as "Maggie's Orchard" and once home to the renowned Eagles Nest Nursery, this extraordinary estate was owned by nationally recognized landscape architect, artist, and master gardener Tommy Mixon, whose work was featured on PBS's Victory Garden. The grounds still hold the remnants of tropical gardens, rare plantings, hidden garden spaces, and the vision of a truly remarkable property waiting to be brought back to life.

Add a kitchenette to create an income-producing apartment, in-law suite, guest quarters, or home office. Outside, the possibilities continue with a large attached greenhouse/aviary, a massive two-story historic barn, multiple outbuildings, vintage chicken coops, three deep wells, and plenty of room to expand your vision.
