Susina Plantation

Susina Plantation is a Greek Revival mansion in Grady County built on a large estate near Beachton, featuring classical architectural details and traditional Southern construction methods. The main house displays symmetrical facades with tall columns and proportionate rooms typical of the style.

The mansion was designed in 1841 by architect John Wind and originally called Cedar Grove. In 1887 Dr. John Metcalfe purchased the property and renamed it Susina.

The property reflects the transformation of Southern agricultural estates, transitioning from cotton production to private hunting grounds in the early 1900s.

The estate sits on a secluded property southwest of Thomasville along Meridian Road and functions as a private residence. You can view it from the road, but access to the interior or grounds is not available to the public.

In the 1980s the property operated as a bed and breakfast under Anne Marie Walker, welcoming notable guests through its doors. It became a private retreat for traveling artists and film industry figures passing through the region.
