Overview
During a renovation, an inscription was discovered behind one of the fireplaces written by a carpenter who worked on the original construction predicting that the house he built would long outlast him and his descendantsCRESCENT FARM: HISTORY! HARMONY! HOME! YOUR SLICE OF SPORTMENS PARADISE!!! Wooden columns, a balustrade and louvered shutters grace the front of this historic home which sits high atop a brick foundation. The windows, transoms and sidelights across the front elevation have the original glass panes intact. Two of the original panes bear the signatures of children of the original owner who scratched their names into the glass with diamonds in the mid 1800's. During a renovation, an inscription was discovered behind one of the fireplaces written by a carpenter who worked on the original construction predicting that the house he built would long outlast him and his descendants. That has come true. Still standing on the grounds are a fifteen foot cistern, and a milk house where the farm's dairy was processed into milk, cream, butter, etc. An archaeologist survey done in the late 1980s showed the original cart path in front of the house and evidence of the location of a carriage house and several cabins to the rear of the property which was additional housing. Over the years, significant interior square footage was added to accommodate modern life, and hundreds of oaks, cypress and pine trees were planted around the home. There are several mature oak trees on the grounds that exceed 400 years old. The land adjacent to the home has a stocked fish pond with gazebo, a sunken garden and a mature fruit orchard. This statuesque home site and exquisite land is a tribute to Southern elegance!!!
