Outside, the renowned Boxwood garden creates a private retreat unlike any other. Brick walkways wind through lush landscaping, while historic brick walls provide a sense of seclusion and timeless beauty. Relax on the back porch with plantation shutters and enjoy views of this enchanting outdoor sanctuary or go to the Cricket Frog Trail that is less than a half mile away and has 15+ miles of walking trails. Whether envisioned as a stunning private residence, an elegant bed-and-breakfast, or a distinguished office space in one of Georgia's most recognizable downtown destinations, Boxwood offers a rare opportunity to own a landmark property in the heart of Covington's thriving and ever-popular Hollywood of the South.
