Starfish Home for 10, Fast EV Charger+Pet Friendly
Richmond Hill, GA, United States
Surrounded by Spanish-moss-draped pines and close to recreation and historic sites, this home dates back to the early 1940s, when industrialist Henry Ford developed the Richmond Hill area. It lies about 35 minutes’ drive from downtown Savannah and just steps from the Myrtle Grove Plantation, where many movies and TV series have been filmed. Newly renovated, yet preserving the charm of yesteryear, guests will feel right at home as will well-behaved pets.
Good to know
The home has 3 bedrooms and sleeps 10. The back yard is huge – big enough to park boats and multiple vehicles. The living area is quiet, private, and surrounded by trees on a 4-acre lot. The primary bedroom has a king-sized bed. A second bedroom has 2 double beds, and a third bedroom has 3 twin-sized beds. There is one bathroom. This is a one-story home, and the bedrooms wrap around a central hallway – from which a lone fireplace heated the home back in the day. The kitchen is original to the home and features beautiful views of pine woods. It has a refrigerator, stove and nice-sized pantry. There is no dishwasher in keeping with the kitchen’s historic nature. The dining room has a chandelier and glass-topped table and seats 8. The home sits on a 4-acre lot. The back yard has a picnic table, patio furniture and a fire pit for outdoor gatherings. The Starfish House was originally built in the 1940's on the Ford Plantation, owned by Henry Ford. The house was later moved to its current location. This area has been home to many films shot a few yards away at the Myrtle Grove Plantation. Films shot here include Glory, 7 Years a Slave, The Underground Railroad, and many others. Just down the street is a boat ramp to put boats in the Ogeechee River (the ocean is just 4 miles away) as well as Fort McAllister State Park, which includes the site of the last battle before the fall of Savannah in the Civil War, as well as a campground and recreation area. A dog park, tennis courts, and an exercise trail are also close by. This property sleeps 9 beds. There are very comfortable couches that would accommodate children.
