Evergreen Cottage is the ultimate in privacy. Nestled off of a quiet country lane in the aptly named Fort Valley, Evergreen Cottage is world away from city cares and stress. With woodland trails to explore, gardens to admire, and two ponds to fish, one is never at a loss for something to do on this property.

This pond is fed by a bold stream which flows along the back lawn. The open lawns leading from the property entrance to the house are planted with a variety conifers and other specimen trees and interspersed with shrubs and garden areas.
