Nestled in the beautiful Southern countryside of North Georgia on Crawford Smithonia Road in Colbert, is the historically significant Smithonia district. Begun as a farm in 1860, Smithonia was purchased and renovated by country music star, Kenny Rogers. In 2001, another Southern gentleman, Jewett Tucker, acquired the property and established Tucker Plantation there. Part of Tucker Plantation is available for special events like weddings and large parties. The old brick barns, which take you back to a time when the barn symbolized the heart of a farm, are truly more elegant than barnlike.

When Jewett and Cindy Tucker purchased the land, they worked with architect Joe Gayle to make Smithonia into a historic village that blends architectural and horticultural features of the 1800s. Here in this sublime pastoral setting are several sites for homes, and amid the beautiful land of Smithonia, with its lakes, pastures, and trees, are countryside recreational areas for hiking, horseback riding, fishing, and relaxing in a way that the contemporary city does not allow. Come to Tucker Plantation at Smithonia, and experience the best of the past and the present. Call (706) 788-3167 for details and reservations.
