Take a Look Inside Ben Affleck’s Plantation House Full of Southern Charm Before It Sells

Ben Affleck is selling his gorgeous southern antebellum Greek-revival Georgia plantation for $8.9 million through Engel & Volkers. It’s nicknamed “The Big House” and here’s why:

It’s situated on 87 acres on Hampton Island.
The main “Big House” is 6,000 square feet and has several stately fireplaces and 15-foot ceilings.
There’s also a 10,000-square-foot guest house for 20 featuring five bedrooms and three master suites.
The property includes a cottage.

The antebellum-style main house has four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms.

Located just 35 miles from Savannah, the historic-looking home is perfectly polished. Here’s a look inside:

The living room is elegant yet relaxed and inviting, thanks to the slipcovered sofas. The grand fireplace has a mirror hung over it that reflects the centerpiece of the room: the chandelier.

Reclaimed brick adds a historical feel to the home.

The open, airy kitchen has a relaxed feel. Large armoires and an island provide storage for pots, pans and china.

Large 25-foot columns and plenty of veranda area leads out to scenic views of the North Newport River.

A proper southern antebellum home isn’t complete without a collection of rocking chairs on the porch.

One of the bathrooms of the main house features a clawfoot tub and antique lighting.

The boat dock on the property is next to the cottage.

The property sits on 87 acres for the ultimate private nature experience.

The lucky buyer also has a billiards room, library, horse stable and golf privileges on the island golf club.

Sliding Bookcase Doors KALLAX hack to divide your rooms

I replaced single-glazed sliding doors that divided the sitting room and dining room with a sliding KALLAX bookcase. For one “door”, I used two 2×2 cubes and one 2×1 unit. As we already owned 4 separate KALLAX 2×2 cubes and they seemed to be exactly the same width as the internal doors, we thought it might be possible to stack them. With one additional 2×1 KALLAX they almost matched the height of the internal doors. Sliding KALLAX bookcase doors in closed position First, still a work in progress but let us show you how it looks from the dining room, when the units are pushed together to close up the doorway. And the units pushed apart to enter the living room. We can access the storage cubes from both sides — from the dining or living room — which is so very useful. What I like most is, when viewed from the living room, when closed, it looks almost like a built-in unit.
