About this property

Luxury Savannah Estate On Square with Courtyard + Parking by Lucky Savannah

Built in 1859 for William Bordley, this expansive, sprawling estate is truly the definition of Southern Luxury. This pristine home boasts high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows that fill the home with an abundance of natural light, and is enriched with character from the original architectural details. Overlooking Chatham Square in the heart of Savannah's Landmark District, situated beneath breathtaking Oak Trees draped in Spanish Moss, this estate is an idyllic retreat for those looking to have one-of-a-kind experience.

The exterior boasts a picturesque staircase that leads up to the second level main entry, where guests can utilize the secure, electronic lock, for ease of access throughout their stay. Upon stepping inside, you’ll be greeted by the grand entrance hall with original wood floors and an elegant, staircase. To your left is the parlor, where you can look out at Chatham Square with unobstructed views and be transported through time. The sophistication of a southern home was truly captured, from the sky blue ceilings, pastel furniture, and elegant patterns. While this space is certainly a show stopper, you will find an ample amount of comfortable seating for your entire party to gather, in addition to a smart television with access to all of your favorite streaming channels.

Beyond the parlor, guests will find a scullery, where provisions can be stored and hand crafted cocktails can be made for those intimate dinners, or evenings in the courtyard. The formal dining room connects, where your party will enjoy views of the beautifully manicured courtyard, surrounded by brick walls to ensure a total sense of privacy. An entertainer's dream, the chef’s kitchen is open to the formal dining room, with a large center island, perfect for those home cooked or catered meals. The kitchen features top of the line stainless steel appliances, an abundant amount of space, a walk-in pantry, and quartz countertops. Rounding out the main level a charming powder room and a spacious laundry room with custom built-ins.

The third level is made up of three tastefully designed guest suites fitted with King beds, each with a different yet similar style. The primary suite resides at the back of the home, overlooking the courtyard, with custom window treatments, and a sitting porch with plantation shutters. Accessing the ensuite bathroom through the walk-in closet, you’ll find a luxurious, spa-like oasis. From the large soaking tub, double travertine marble vanity, and walk-in shower, you’ll never want to leave. The second suite can be accessed from the primary suite, or closed off, which is ideal for parents with young children. Down the hall, at the front of the home, the third suite overlooks Chatham Square and the majestic oak trees, also fitted with custom window treatments. The full-size guest bathroom can be accessed from the third suite, or the hall, making it convenient for all guests. This bathroom is fitted with a spacious, walk-in tiled shower, and beautiful travertine marble vanity.

Making your way down to the garden level, perfect for in-laws, you’ll find an additional gathering space that boasts natural light, and hand-laid brick flooring. You’ll find the final guest suite with a King bed, adjacent sitting room, full-size ensuite bathroom, and wet bar as well. The thoughtful design and attention to detail was carried throughout this entire estate, to ensure every guest has the same experience.

Stepping into the manicured private courtyard, it provides an ideal outdoor space for intimate gatherings. The charm is carried throughout, with potted lemon trees, beautiful lush greenery, and plenty of seating for everyone in your party.

Nicest rental stay I've had
This was THE nicest rental our family has ever stayed in. The house was so well designed, so well decorated, and so clean that our family was wowed. The basement apartment was nice to have separate from the three other rooms for our family setup, and the garden space was lovely for morning coffee. The location was quiet with a beautiful view yet centrally located. I would absolutely rent this house again.

Stately home on Chatham Square
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unique home that has the feel of a the 1800’s. It is clean, well decorated with a good floor plan. The living room is great for a family gathering. The patio is a a nice for enjoying the outdoors. The downstairs “apartment” is a world of its own. We spent some time researching the home and its history. Interesting and good to imagine it’s earlier days. We had a great time.

Incredible house- perfect location
The decor and details of this house were incredible. They spent so much time, money and planning to bring this old house back to life. We had more than enough room and it was so refreshing being in such a beautifully preserved historic home. The front steps open up right to Chatham square which is beautiful, and quiet. This is such a quaint part of town but still So close to everything. We walked 9 minutes to Forsyth park. The courtyard was an amazing touch and like a secret garden. We will stay here again!

The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the entire home exuded coziness. The property managers provided outstanding service, promptly attending to our request for a new iron when we needed one for our wedding outfits for the weekend.The estate's location made exploring Savannah effortless; we strolled to Forsyth Park, Broughton Street, and River Street with great ease. Every moment of our stay was thoroughly enjoyable, leaving us eager for our next visit.

Immaculate Historic Home
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was hands down the most impressive property I have ever stayed at and I travel often. The photos are gorgeous and they still don’t do this property justice. I woke up every morning in awe of the attention to detail that was put into decorating this already breathtaking historic home. The beds were clean and comfortable, the showers had the best water pressure I’ve ever experienced, the kitchen was gorgeous and perfect for a group of 7. We ended up ordering dinner in because we just didn’t want to leave the house. I could not reccomend this home, or Lucky Savannah more.

Fantastic stay in Savannah- right on a square
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is a great options for groups, with a modern southern twist on a savannah historic home. We especially appreciated the layout of the kitchen with large island, dining and butlers pantry. The house is large enough everyone has their own personal space, added features like a garage, laundry room, full garden really add to the stay. Above all the central location and being right on square are you feel like you are living like a local.

Beautiful Savannah
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of seven rented this home for 5 days and could not have been happier with the property, location and quick prompt responses by the property managers. We were actually more impressed with the property than the pictures could even express. The home was comfortable, clean and well furnished. We literally walked to almost everything we did, and with the one parking space and having rented one car, it was the perfect property for us. Although we think that the beds, advertised as king sized, seemed more like a queen sized beds (for three of the rooms) but we were very comfortable. We felt like we were home at all times. Highly recommend!!!
