EVERHOPE PLANTATION
This beautifully restored ca 1852 plantation home, listed in the National Register of Historic Places was built by Captain Nathan Carpenter, a prosperous planter and Confederate officer . It remained in the same famiy for 122 years.
Everhope is located 3.5 miles from I-20/59, and just 35 minutes from Tuscaloosa, home of the University of Alabama. It is in a rural setting and rests on 8 acres of lush landscaping, orchards and pastures. The home is 6 miles from historic Eutaw, a town featured in the book The Most Beautiful Villages and Towns in the South, by Bonnie Ramsey. Each October, Eutaw hosts a Fall Tour of Homes in which Everhope is regularly included.
Noted as a "Sportsman's Paradise", the surrounding area offers excellent hunting and fishing.
The house has approximately 6500 sqft plus an additional 800 sqft on the 3rd floor. There are several outbuildings on the property including one of the original slave quarters, the old pecan house, tenant house (ca 1890), equipment shed, part of the old kitchen, and large open-bay garage with workshop. The grounds have many pecan, peach, pear, and fig trees and well as a formal rose garden. In addition, most of the property is fenced. and cross-fenced and is ideal for horses.
In the main house there are 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, 2 formal parlors, formal dining room, 8 fireplaces, wide center hallways, a main staircase and a back staircase, large front porch and an upper balcony. Everhope retains many of its original architectural details such as high ceilings, plastered ceiling medallions and walls, grain-painted doors and mouldings and pine mantle pieces.
A wing, connected by a large bright crosshall, was added to the original structure in the late 1990's. The 1.5 story addition, constructed in such a manner so as not to be seen from the front, incorporates a large gourmet kitchen (with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances), large family room with built-in bookcases and fireplace, breakfast room, mudroom, laundry room, office with custom cabinetry, an additional full bath with walk-in closets, a garage, and a screened-in porch.
In 2009, Everhope Plantation was featured in Jennifer Hale's book, Historic Plantations of Alabama Black Belt.
This amazing property has previously been used as a bed and breakfast but is now a private residence. Open for tours year round, the current owners have had visitors from all over the US, parts of Europe, South America, and as far away as Austrailia and Japan!
Everhope Plantation invites you to enjoy southern hospitality and experience the splendor of a by-gone era.
