The Headlines from the July 2016 Elmore County Living is "DIXIE ART COLONY REDISCOVERED"! Now it could say it is Rediscovered and Remodeled. This once piece of Southern art history has been preserved and an abandoned Lake Jordan cabin remodeled into a lovely home. This major renovation boasts many improvements some of which are: New Roof, new HVAC (upstairs), new propane heat and A/C unit downstairs, two covered decks overlooking the lake, upgrades to the electrical system and new baths. The kitchen upgrades include concrete countertops and all new appliances. The stacked rock fireplace has a propane insert and features an original Kelly Fitzpatrick art work over the hearth. You'll love stepping back in time with the original heart pine floors and knotty pine walls. Some of the many beautiful outside features include a firepit, lovely landscaping with a creek that has a waterfall, and 1200 SF rustic porch by the lake. There is so much history and beauty in the original studio that was once an art colony from 1933-1948 that one must see to truly appreciate!
