I have seen Dongola in person. It is quite imposing! Dongola Plantation Manor was built in 1832. It is located on 1.86 acres in Yanceyville, North Carolina. There weren’t many pictures so I did find some old ones that NC had on file. Those pictures are from the 1930’s. This property is zoned residential/commercial. Yanceyville is a small town near Danville, Virginia. $109,000
From the Preservation North Carolina listing:
Historic 1832 Plantation Manor. Styling and craftsmanship often dreamed of but seldom seen! Antebellum architecture at it best! REDUCED for quick sale! It is also an industrial, office and residential portfolio. Become Monarch of Yanceyville. Must see inside!
NC State has detailed scale drawings of the original crafted wood trim, windows & other millwork. Search online for Dongola NC or Dongola Yanceyville and be amazed at the postings on this hidden treasure. Fishing, boating, hunting, hiking available on numerous lakes in the area and 16,000 acres of public land and racing at nearby Virginia International Raceway. You can sit on the spacious front porch & welcome your guest or sit on the balcony and sip mint julips. Many people believe it will take a fortune to refurbish this palatial home– we have quotes for everything and it will take less $100K.
