Celia Dunn Sotheby’s International Realty Serves as Preferred Outside Broker for Sales at The Ford Plantation - 9/24/2008  
 
SAVANNAH, Ga. – The Ford Plantation, one of the nation’s top luxury communities and private sporting clubs, recently entered into an exclusive agreement with Celia Dunn Sotheby’s International Realty, a top real estate company headquartered in Savannah, to serve as the preferred outside broker for sales at this award-winning sporting community.

Under the terms of the agreement, Celia Dunn Sotheby’s International Realty will co-list all homes with Ford Plantation Properties, LLC, the real estate company based at The Ford Plantation.

“Celia Dunn Sotheby’s International Realty enjoys a sterling reputation as one of the region’s leading luxury real estate brokers,” said Chip Dolan, broker in charge at The Ford Plantation. “Celia has been a longtime supporter of the outstanding lifestyle and unsurpassed amenities we offer members at our world-class community.”

Town & Country magazine named The Ford Plantation one of the top seven safe havens in the country, recognizing enclaves that offer an outstanding quality of life and exceptional amenities. Travel + Leisure Golf has honored the community as one of the nation’s “Top 100 Golf Communities” for three consecutive years.

“The Ford Plantation has incredible amenities, a real sensitivity to the environment and beautiful tree cover,” said Celia W. Dunn, managing broker and president of Celia Dunn Sotheby’s International Realty. “The large home sites offer privacy, yet Ford Plantation residents enjoy convenient access to Savannah’s best restaurants, shops and cultural attractions. It’s the perfect community for the outdoor enthusiast or for anyone with a love of nature.”

Originally granted by England’s King George II in 1750, the 1,800 acres at The Ford Plantation boast a rich history. Two of the property’s former owners signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The land was both the site of a key Revolutionary War battle and part of Union General William T. Sherman’s March to the Sea during the Civil War. The community’s Main House overlooking the Ogeechee River once served as automobile magnate Henry Ford’s winter estate.

“The Ford Plantation has a fascinating history and stands apart as one of the most spectacular private communities along the Georgia coast,” said Dunn. “I’m proud to represent The Ford Plantation, which truly offers the ultimate in Lowcountry luxury.”
