Renovated 1928 Cottage On A Former Asylum Campus

Located in Milledgeville, opened in 1842 the space as built as Georgia’s first public psychiatric hospital. Today the campus is being repurposed with new industries taking over some of the buildings. However, much of the property is still mostly empty and falling into decay. Two thousand acres still echo with the memory of the patients who were treated at the asylum. And you can stay on the only rental property on the entire 2,000 acre campus. The cottage was built in 1928 by the state of Georgia as housing for doctors working at Central State Hospital. Doctors were housed here until the 1990’s when full scale decommissioning of the hospital hit its peak. The house sat vacant for over 20 years until it was purchased it in 2018. The property consists of three buildings, the main house, a cinder block storage building and a garage with an apartment above it. The garage apartment was used to house patients who served as house staff for the doctors and their families.
