Property Description
The Jackson-Clark house is the oldest continuously occupied residence in coastal southeast Georgia remaining today. It is located in the St. Marys Historic District adjacent to the iconic Greek Revival style Orange Hall and has received numerous awards as both a Georgia and US National Historic treasure. 4BR, 3.5 Baths, 4,652 sf, 2-room apartment, 2-car garage Construction of the house began in 1801 by Charles Jackson. The property was purchased by Major Archibald Clark, a saw mill owner who was appointed as the Port of St. Marys Collector by President Thomas Jefferson. Major Clark was renowned for his courageous stand against the British naval forces and was briefly imprisoned for his refusal to turn over the city's assets. Subsequently, the house has hosted guests such as Vice President Aaron Burr, fleeing from his fatal 1804 duel with Alexander Hamilton. General Winfield Scott also stayed here on his return to fight the British occupation forces. The property was purchased in 1999 by Mr. Thomas Nesbitt, a direct descendant of Clark's and restored under US Department of The Interior Historic Preservation Guidelines over the next eight years. Mrs. Catherine Nesbitt operated the A. Clark Antique store during that period as well. Only a short walk to the city waterfront, the home enjoys significant tourist traffic. Today, the original home, guest suite and outbuildings are offered for sale. An adjacent lot is included for a total of .95 acres. The properties are commercially zoned and located in the city's Historic District. Potential uses, subject to city approval, include a rambling family compound, B&B, medical/prof practice, or residence with a store or office. The property is a short walk to the Cumberland Island Ferry, dining, shops, a picturesque waterfront park, and boat launch. A perfect blend of history and modern conveniences with investment potential.
