About this home
A Rare Southern Estate with Unmatched Character and Timeless Elegance. Some homes simply can't be replicated-and this extraordinary estate is one of them. Originally built in 1979 as the personal residence of legendary UGA basketball coach Hugh Durham, this remarkable property is now offered for only the third time in its history.
Lovingly restored and thoughtfully updated, it blends timeless Southern architecture with modern luxury on nearly four private acres. A long, winding drive from Old Jefferson Road welcomes you through lush, professionally landscaped grounds, with a secondary entrance from Walton Creek Road offering added convenience. Zoned AR with no HOA, the property allows horses and stables, providing endless possibilities for those seeking both elegance and acreage.
From the circular driveway and side-entry two-car garage to the classic double-balcony facade, every arrival feels memorable. A brick walkway leads to the grand foyer, where rich heart-of-pine flooring, custom millwork, and deep crown moldings create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. Aptly named "Tween the Hedges" in honor of its original owner and the University of Georgia, this home embodies Southern tradition at its finest.
Formal living and dining rooms frame the foyer and flow effortlessly into the expansive great room, highlighted by extensive wainscoting and a wood-burning fireplace. Just beyond, a beautifully appointed wet bar features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a sink, built-ins, and refrigerator space, making entertaining effortless. Designed for both everyday living and grand gatherings, the chef's kitchen is accessible from multiple living spaces and showcases marble countertops, brick flooring and accents, premium appliances, and exceptional custom cabinetry.
A spacious mudroom and laundry room with abundant storage, along with two conveniently located powder rooms, complete the main level. Stretching across the rear of the home, a full-length deck overlooks the resort-style backyard, where an inground pool is surrounded by meticulously curated gardens and mature landscaping. Upstairs, the luxurious owner's suite offers generous custom closets and a spa-inspired bath featuring a steam shower and sauna, deep Jacuzzi soaking tub with its own dedicated water heater, and custom cabinetry.
Two additional bedrooms with private baths complete the second floor. The upper balcony, accessible from both the owner's suite and front bedroom, provides the perfect setting for morning coffee or quiet evenings overlooking the grounds. The third floor offers a private guest retreat complete with a spacious sitting area, bedroom, and ensuite bath.
The terrace level is equally impressive, featuring an approximately 1,500-square-foot in-law suite (per owner) with its own full kitchen, walk-in pantry, second laundry room, bedroom, full bath, expansive living and sunroom spaces, and a beautiful stone fireplace. French doors open directly to the patio and pool, creating an ideal private living space for extended family or guests. The outdoor living experience is every bit as extraordinary.
Explore beautifully designed garden rooms filled with roses, peonies, fruit trees, and raised vegetable beds protected by deer fencing. Both the irrigation system and pool are supplied by well water, ensuring efficient maintenance of the stunning landscape. Additional improvements include approximately 5,750 square feet of living space, four gas HVAC systems (three recently replaced and equipped with UV air purification), two gas water heaters, updated windows and appliances throughout, a recently inspected roof, central vacuum system, and countless thoughtful enhancements.
Rich in history, impeccably maintained, and impossible to duplicate, this exceptional estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most distinguished homes. Welcome to your next chapter.

This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Actual list price: $1,099,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
- Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- 120 active listings competing, 27 under contract
For reference, this home is listed at $1,099,000 ($191/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Frequently asked questions
Why might my property taxes differ from the current owner's?
Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment can be re-set after a sale. As a result a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Where does the flood-zone information come from?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
