Description
Pine Flat Estate (circa 1825) is a 4,960 sqft. country home built by William Carter, one of the earliest pioneer settlers of Butler county. The two storied residence sits grandly at the end of a long promenade surround by mature azaleas, camellias, and large stately trees. The front of the house features a wide yet deeply recessed two story front porch. The porch is intimate enough to enjoy an afternoon tea but large enough to have a party. The original double front doors open to a grand central hall with a sweeping staircase with a voluted balustrade. To the left of the hall is the massive living room with gas burning fireplace, pocket doors, tall transoms and original hand made woodwork. There is a front facing sunroom with lovely bay window and has a door to the lovely front porch. The dining room is grand in size and can easily seat a party of 12+ and is finished with a corner fireplace & lovely decor. Additionally, on the main floor is very a large bedroom suite with fireplace, ensuite bath with antique clawfoot tub. The rear of the home has a large den and wonderful eat-in country kitchen, that is complete with custom pine cabinets. Upstairs there are 4 more bedrooms all with ensuite baths. Some bedrooms have original fireplace mantles, while all the bedrooms have light filled windows that look out to the gorgeous property. Home features wide-plank heart pine floors and hand-hewn plank walls. Out back, guests can enjoy the in-ground gunite swimming pool, the large patio and a trellised pergola. The yard has been beautifully planted and has an irrigation/sprinkler system on a pump system. The property features several additional structures including a horse barn/stable, 2 story smoke house (allegedly the only on in the state of Alabama) a pump house, the cooks houses and a 2 + car garage. Out front near the road, is an air-conditioned old fashion country store that is used for old fashion "hoedowns." or just playing billiard with friends. Home sits on 11+ acres but also includes an additional 45 timbered acres reached by a cleared trail. The rear acreage has a winding stream, steel bridge and a hunting lookout tower/ deer stand.
