The yard of the Hellman home is so vast, you might have trouble seeing the sign designating it as a Beauty Spot, but the sight of the property is enough to confirm it for you nonetheless.
TIFTON — The coming of April marks the passing of the title of Beauty Spots of the Month to two new locations.
St. Anne’s Episcopal Church, located at 2411 Central Ave., and the home of the Hellman family out of Chula have been named the Beauty Spots of April by the Keep Tift Beautiful board.
Founded in 1898 as just a small congregation, St. Anne’s has been serving the Tifton community for over a century. After constructing and consecrating a small sanctuary a few years after its founding, the church has continued to expand, receiving a chapel in 1985, affectionately referred to as “Little St. Anne’s,” a parish hall in 1986, and a ministry center, replacing the old education building, in 2015. Now, it continues to serve and support the Tiftarea as a place of community and faith.
As the other recipient of the Beauty Spot title for April, the Hellman property sports a sizable and well-tended yard that compliments the equally sizable home. With a massive field of green, large and lively trees, and its very own pond, the plot of land is about as picturesque as it comes.
