White Dog Plantation is a gorgeous retreat comprising 8 buildings on over 47 acres, a large spring, hiking trails, a ravine, gardens and a 4-acre dog park. The property is just 16 miles from Interstate 10 and Tallahassee, Florida’s capital city and 3 miles from the quaint, historic town of Havana.
The bulk of the property is zoned commercial (about 34 acres), which means the property has many potential uses other than just a retreat, for example, restaurant complex, retail stores, rehabilitation center.
The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and dates to the mid-1820s which Dr. Malcom Nicholson bought 4,400 acres and built his plantation house on the site. The Nicholson family lived in the house from the 1820s until the 1970s when the last Nicholson living in the house died. In the 1980s it was bought by Paul Nicholson (great great grandson of Malcolm Nicolson) and made into the famous Nicholson Farmhouse Restaurant. The restaurant was so popular that Paul kept expanding by bringing in more historic buildings, including a large honky tonk building, two Victorian houses, and a former gas station/country store. With the original smokehouse building, a large storage building, and a worker’s cottage (doublewide mobiles home), the number of buildings on the property comes to 8 with over 14,000 square feet of heated space and over 21,000 square feet under roof.
Lynn Badger bought the property in 2007, and has spent the last few years building a retreat with 9 upscale boutique guest rooms. Since 2015 it has been open for guests for overnight stays and events, many of which are weddings. The retreat provides a unique country setting for weddings in which the ceremony can be held in either the pergola or the gazebo, the reception and rehearsal dinner in Shady Rest, the 3,300 square foot hall that can seat at least 175 at tables or 250 not at tables, with guests staying overnight in the 9 guest rooms in the Salem House, the Nicholson House, the Smokehouse, and Patrick’s Store.

What do people say?
Stephen was able to find me a home that appraised for well over our contract price. He helped me find a lender, scheduled all the inspections and survey. He broke down the closing documents and met me at the house the day of close for our final walk through. I can’t recommend him enough!

Pro Players Realty helped me prepare my home for sale, with low cost ideas that really made the place look good. Their listing special saved me over $2,000.00! John’s marketing system got the home seen by many buyers. I think most real-estate companies are not as complete as the Pro Players home selling system. Thank you Pro Players!
