Long Description : Journey back in time to beautifully manicured grounds and an immaculate antebellum plantation. Belle Meade Plantation features a historically restored mansion that dates back to 1853 and the Harding family’s stables were once world renowned for their breeding of quality Thoroughbred horses.
