 Looking to move ?


Looking to move into a creepy POSSIBLY Haunted House ?


Look no further - found one !


Sparta, GA – $99,000

Follow link listing here


5 bedrooms | 1 bath | 3,568 square feet

Built in 1820

Founded in 1793, Hancock County was founded by Revolutionary War Veterans. The county seat, Sparta, has a downtown district on the National Historic Trust. In less than a 2 mile stroll, you can see 28 historic buildings from the late 1700’s through mid 1800’s in this district. The Pendleton-Graves house is an excellent example of an urban 19th century residence, the house and barn are all that remain of an original... 1820's !

This house is over 200 years old and has been neglected for sure. The architecture and craftsmanship is amazing.

Even though it looks like a nightmare, MAYBE someone could bring it back from the dead. Note: this area has a ton of other amazing historic buildings, so  there’s some potential.

Here’s the realtor’s description:


“Founded in 1793, Hancock County was founded by Revolutionary War Veterans. The county seat, Sparta, has a downtown district on the National Historic Trust. In less than a 2 mile stroll, you can see 28 historic buildings from the late 1700’s through mid 1800’s in this district...

The Pendleton-Graves house is an excellent example of an urban 19th century residence, the house and barn are all that remain of an original 1820s complex. Thomas Whaley built the house around 1820, and in 1853 Dr. Edmund Pendleton bought the house and added to it to accommodate his children...

 Pendleton was one of the first to use cottonseed in the production of fertilizer, founding a company in 1867. He supported the Liberian establishment as a home for freed Africans...

R.A. Graves added the Victorian embellishments and established the first commercial bank in Sparta, which opened in 1887. Please use caution when showing!”



...Please use caution when showing!”...
Is this a warning???!!!

Only time will tell!
This eerie house is still for sale!
