Own a Piece of Waycross History - The Castle on the Curve Step into a living piece of history with "The Castle on the Curve," a breathtaking 14-acre estate that stands as one of the most remarkable homes in Waycross. Built in 1902 by John Middleton "Doc" Spence as a tribute to his bride, Rhoda Henderson Spence, this architectural masterpiece was inspired by Gresham's Castle, one of the few structures to withstand the devastating Galveston Hurricane of 1900. Recognized by the Georgia Historical Society as one of the finest examples of Queen Anne architecture, this nearly 6,000-square-foot, three-story home is a testament to timeless craftsmanship. Featuring turrets, rounded porches, intricate gingerbread trim, and vibrant stained glass windows, every detail exudes historic charm. Inside, eight fireplaces, two claw-foot tubs, and elegant woodwork create an atmosphere of grandeur and warmth.

This historic structure adds character to the property and holds endless potential, though it does require restoration.
