Escape to a private sanctuary tucked just minutes from Covington's Historic Square-a rare opportunity to own over nine wooded acres in the heart of the city. This beautifully maintained family home, designed by acclaimed Southern architect Bobby McAlpine, radiates timeless charm and thoughtful details that set it apart. McAlpine's unique vision is evident throughout, creating a living space that feels both elegant and inviting. Step inside and be greeted by authentic heart pine floors, sourced from the historic Milstead, GA cotton mill, offering a warm, storied foundation beneath your feet. The classic red wood siding, complemented by custom French doors and stately columns, welcomes you with sophistication and a sense of arrival each time you return home. Picture cozy evenings gathered around the gas starter wood-burning fireplace, its flickering glow filling the room with warmth and comfort. Mornings begin peacefully as sunlight filters through the trees, revealing the beauty of your expansive acreage-a tranquil retreat where nature and privacy are yours to enjoy. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a dedicated storage house perfect for keeping firewood and outdoor equipment organized, ensuring your space remains uncluttered and ready for adventure. Whether hosting gatherings or seeking quiet moments, the combination of open land and architectural excellence makes every day feel special. Within city limits yet blissfully secluded, this property offers an unparalleled blend of convenience and serenity. It's a one-of-a-kind opportunity-a home that celebrates history, craftsmanship, and the luxury of private acreage, all brought together by the artistry of Bobby McAlpine. If you've been dreaming of a place that invites you to slow down, savor every moment, and create lasting memories, this is where those dreams come alive.

Every Listing, Full Treatment

What a Rykman
listing page carries.

When live inventory connects, each property opens into a page built like our listings deserve. Here is the anatomy.

The Story

Presentation first.

Editorial photography, the property's point of view, and the facts that make its value legible in the first thirty seconds.

The Numbers

The full picture.

Price history, taxes, schools, and area context in one place, so you evaluate the deal, not just the photos.

The Move

One tap to act.

Book the showing or text the question directly from the page. Speed matters when the right house surfaces.

Ready When You Are

Never house-hunt
alone again.

The search is the easy part. The read, the offer, and the win are where representation earns its keep.
