The Ford Plantation, a prestigious residential community, was recently featured in the November 2010 issue of Coastal Living.
The five-page article showcases a historic cottage once owned by automobile magnate Henry Ford that has been meticulously renovated by Vanita and Harry Morgan. The 800-square-foot cottage, which was originally built in the 1920’s, once served as a farm manager’s residence and is one of four remaining structures at The Ford Plantation that date back to the Henry Ford era. The Morgan residence now serves as a stylish sanctuary overlooking Lake Clara.
“Charmed by the home’s history, cozy size and unusual combination of board-and-batten siding plus tiled roof, the Morgans renovated the house after moving it to higher ground,” the article observes. “The couple scrapped their plans to build from scratch and, instead, decided to rescue the historic cottage.”
A private community, The Ford Plantation offers unparalleled private club living on a 1,800-acre site with a canopy of historic live oaks overlooking the scenic Ogeechee River. Some of the exceptional amenities residents enjoy include an acclaimed Pete Dye golf course, a deepwater private marina, coastal sport fishing, stocked natural lakes, sporting clays, an equestrian center, tennis, a fitness center, pools, canoeing, kayaking, walking and hiking trails, and a full service spa.
Travel + Leisure Golf has repeatedly recognized The Ford Plantation as one of “America’s Top 100 Golf Communities.” Town & Country also magazine named The Ford Plantation one of the top seven safe havens in the country, spotlighting enclaves that offer an outstanding quality of life and exceptional amenities.
