Savannah, GA –(June, 2010) Cora Bett Thomas Realty & Associates, a leader among Savannah’s real estate brokerage firms, has been named listing agent for Telfair Plantation, an upscale, gated community which is preparing for launch just beyond the Talmadge Bridge.
Located just three miles from Savannah’s downtown historic district on the South Carolina side of the Savannah River, Telfair Plantation is a secluded enclave of 74 homesites. It sits on 562 acres in the midst of a nature sanctuary and the 25,000-acre Savannah National Wildlife Refuge and is adjacent to the Savannah College of Art & Design Equestrian Center.
“Quite frankly, I think Telfair Plantation will one day be considered among the most exclusive Savannah addresses,” explained realty firm president, Cora Bett Thomas. “Telfair has all of the privacy and serenity that so many of today’s professionals are looking for. Yet, it is only a few minutes from the restaurants and culture of our downtown. We are very pleased to represent it.”
Thomas said Telfair will offer both homesites and customized homes. Purchasers can select an architecturally designed home sited specifically for a desired lot. Telfair homesites range in size from 2/3rd of an acre to four acres, with home prices starting at $775,000 (including lot).
“We are pleased to have such a prestigious firm as Cora Bett Thomas Realty representing Telfair,” said the community’s developer Jeff Whitlow, co-manager of North Savannah Properties, LLC. “As the real estate market turns around, I believe the combination of Cora Bett Thomas Realty with our product will be very favorable.”
