Located in Thomas and Grady counties, Georgia, Pebble Hill Plantation is an estate totaling 3,000 acres. Originally established as a working plantation during the antebellum era, Pebble Hillโ€™s modern history is one of a winter home and sporting plantation. In 1896, Cleveland, Ohio businessman, Howard Melville Hanna, Sr., purchased the site, giving the property to his daughter, Kate Hanna Ireland (Harvey) in 1901. It was Mrs. Harvey who oversaw the construction of the propertyโ€™s current buildings and guided the site into the 20th century.

Located on the outskirts of Thomasville, one of the most distinctive features is Millpondโ€™s atrium. It is constructed of large retractable glass roof panels that open and close with the season, providing protection to the indoor garden below- blooming with bougainvillea, palms, citrus, and camellias. The home is over 38,000 sq. ft. and consists of 11 bedrooms and 10.5 baths, all of which are accessible to the veranda flanking the center atrium.

The elaborate grounds were designed by noted landscape architect Warren Manning, who also designed the intricate grounds of the Biltmore Estate for the Vanderbilt family in Asheville, North Carolina. By 1910, the entire complex was complete and to this day remains true to the original vision set forth by the Wade family.
