🎙️ A Storied Past – The Historic Radio House
Originally built as a radio station, this property carries a fascinating history.
The station’s first call sign was WFDR-FM, the sister to WFDR AM 1370 in Manchester—named in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose famous Little White House lies just minutes away in Warm Springs, Georgia.
Over the years, the property evolved through several identities—WQCK (1981) and WVFJ-FM (1983)—before becoming today’s one-of-a-kind retreat: Lara’s Chateau at The Radio House.
🏡 The Space

Lower level: full commercial kitchen with two stoves, freezer, and refrigerator
Entertainment galore: pool table, home theater, den, wraparound open-air deck, and a huge rustic yard with grill
Whether you’re cooking a family feast or hosting a professional retreat, every corner of this home is designed to bring people together in comfort and style.
