Everhope Plantation

Everhope is a two-story wooden mansion built in Greek Revival style in Greene County, Alabama. The house features a prominent portico with four octagonal columns and displays symmetrical double doors with a balcony entrance.

Built in 1853 for Nathan Mullin Carpenter, the property served as a recruitment site for Confederate Rangers during the American Civil War in 1862. This military use marked an important chapter in the plantation's history during wartime.

The interior preserves original nineteenth-century elements such as heart pine floors, period windows, and woodwork that reflect daily life in a plantation home. These surviving features help visitors imagine how a wealthy family lived during that era.

The property sits near Eutaw along Alabama Highway 14 and contains eight bedrooms with grounds to explore. Visits are by appointment only.

The property took the name Everhope after 2005, when the two signature oak trees from which the original name Twin Oaks came died on the grounds. This name change marks a turning point in the property's story and identity.
