Perfect!!
Drooling over this house again today! I definitely want it! I don’t think it is on the market anymore—can’t find it anywhere. I’ll have to keep an eye on this one!
Does anyone on this site live in Jackson, Ga. or know the area?
So funny that you commented about this home. I had ordered some mixed issues of Georgia Backroads Magazine and opened up a 2009 issue today, and wouldn’t you know it this house had an article written about it! Had some old family photos in it, wish I could post them but I don’t have a scanner. One photo is one of the children of the original owner, grown, dressed in a beautiful wedding gown from 1910.
I do not know if the house sold or the owners recreated another website but it is still a wedding venue, now under the website CrownWeddings.
I also found a site that has some old photos of the home, here.
I’ve kept this house posted, even though it has long been off the market, because it’s so gorgeous, really one of the most beautiful I’ve ever posted.
back on the market: http://www.redfin.com/GA/Jackson/149-Mcdonough-Rd-30233/home/25592827 and it is a SHORT SALE
This is back on the market at $475,000.
Be still, my heart!!! She’s a beauty! The square footage of 2378 HAS to be wrong, don’t you think???
Yes, it’s probably more than what Zillow says.
per REDFIN 7100 sq. feet
Hi,
I wrote the article for “Georgia Backroads.” This was my great grandparents’ home, and my mother spent many hours in the kitchen.
It is a lovely home waiting to be cherished by a new owner. So many happy memories there! If I win the lottery, I would snap it up in a heartbeat.

I would understand you doing that Janie. It is stunning!
Hi Janie, it was a great article, the photos included were nice, the bridal photo was gorgeous! Here is hoping you win the lottery, I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to own the family home.
Thanks. I am glad you liked the story.
It is a fine home!
Stunning house..gorgeous!
I live in Jackson. The house is for sale now and at a price significantly lower than it was advertised for several years ago. The original family that built the house was named Carmichael, and they owned the buggy works in Jackson in earlier days. In recent years, the house has been used as a venue for events – weddings and the like. And yes, the house is much larger than 2378 sq feet…probably two and one half or three times that number The house is beautiful, and it has many interesting architectural details. The setting is only about two or three blocks from the town square, however, as is the case in many small towns, zoning has not always been kind to these old homes. This one is next door to a gas station on one side and a beautiful restored old home on the other. The town of Jackson is pretty small, however, it is only about 35 or 40 miles to Atlanta.
Must. Find. Air! That newel post(s) took my breath away!!!
Maybe I no longer have enough oxygen to my brain, but I am perplexed about the chord hanging through the round railing?
I would think a beautiful chandelier is attached to the electric cord to illuminate the first floor and give great affect to the floor above.
Here is a link to the history of the house and the family; there are some lovely pictures as well: http://plantationtrail.com/2012/10/23/the-j-r-carmichael-house/
Nancy,thank you so much for this article.I read every word and had tears by the end of it.
Thank you, Nancy, for sharing the article. It was of great interest. I wonder where all the stain glass and chandeliers go off to and if they will ever be returned to the mansion. I am doubting it. It is a beautiful home and I hope it doesn’t fall into further disrepair.
Hello!
The Carmichael House is still for sale but I don’t know how it has faired over the winter. I wrote the article on plantationtrail.com about it and was in the house back during the fall but haven’t been back in it since. I really hoped the article might reach someone that would be interested in saving it. The gas station south of the property has been closed and is not likely to reopen. It has a beautiful neighbor to north of it and another across the street; together they are quite a set of homes. The pictures on this page are the way I remember it when the Carmichael family still lived there, full of light and life. There is no finer home in Jackson.
It appears that everything in the house was auctioned off back in March, including the family heirlooms that have been with the house since it’s construction. I hope that some of the items can be returned to the new owners. Looks like even family portraits and documents were auctioned. You can see the photos at: http://www.auctionzip.com/Listings/785167.html
I hate hearing that some of the original families heirlooms were auctioned off. Thanks for the link, looked like there was some amazing things being sold.
LOCATION ! LOCATION ! L O C A T I O N ! Sandwiched between a gas station and a motel, this property can never reach it intrinsic value. Gotta love the city fathers and thier zoning aesthetics and ridiculous taxes.
P.S. Kelly, do you also live in Georgia?
Yes, I live up in Forsyth County.
If you are a lover of fiction, you may enjoy reading my new novel (set in north Georgia) “Moon Over Taylor’s Ridge.” It’s been getting good reviews, which may be found at http://www.janiewatts.com. Some high school districts have selected it for their reading lists for 2013. Yay!
In the future, I hope to write one that may be set in a big old home down in Jackson, Ga. ; )
We shall see…
I love fiction that takes place in Georgia, I’ll add it to my reading list. Thanks!
