Property Description

ARCADIA - A HISTORIC 1852 RAISED COTTAGE, FULLY RESTORED AND BEAUTIFULLY REIMAGINED FOR MODERN LIVING ON A SCENIC 48 ACRE RIVERFRONT ESTATE. Originally constructed in 1852 and carefully relocated to its current setting along the Coosa River in 1991, Arcadia offers a mix of formal and informal living spaces along with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 lovingly renovated bathrooms in the main house, plus an additional 1 bedroom/ 1 bathroom guest house. The remarkable blend of preserved history and timeless sophistication is set on rolling acreage with a spring-fed, 10-acre lake and manicured pastures, this exceptional property is one of Rome's most treasured homes. MAIN LEVEL features reclaimed wide-plank heart pine and brick floors, 10-foot ceilings, and gracious living spaces that open to the surrounding terraces and gardens. Three bedrooms and two Jack-and-Jill-style bathrooms offer flexible main-level living. A cozy study, wine cellar, and laundry complete this level. UPSTAIRS, fourteen-foot ceilings and expansive windows flood the living spaces with light. A grand dining room and elegant living room open to the sweeping veranda overlooking the lake and Horseleg Mountain. The kitchen has been fully renovated with professional-grade appliances, marble countertops, and custom cabinetry, blending seamlessly with the home's historic character. The primary suite has been carefully updated with a walk in closet, luxury marble bathroom, and spacious bedroom. OUTBUILDINGS include a charming caretaker's cottage currently used as an art studio, featuring a living room, kitchen, full bath, bedroom, and loft space. A second structure offers both function and flexibility-half finished with a bathroom and currently serving as a home gym, and half used for storage or workshop space beside the formal gardens. A third barn provides both open and enclosed storage with power, ideal for equipment or hobbies. Adding to the estate's charm, a garden folly across the lake consists of a relocated church narthex and steeple. OUTSIDE, sweeping lawns, formal gardens, and multiple porches create a setting equally suited for quiet retreat or gracious entertaining. Every view captures the essence of Southern elegance, from the tranquil water to the distant ridge lines. The estate has rare direct river access with a ramp for boats, kayaks, or paddle boards. Arcadia is more than a home-it's a rare piece of history, artfully restored for the next chapter of its story.
