The round about location of Andre's house
Realizing that this post Im making is way after the fact, I thought I would post the information anyways for those seeking to know some answers about the location of Andre the Giants old homestead.
I went to high school in Montgomery County and frequented the roads between Pekin and Ellerbee going to Rockingham.
If you come down Hwy 220 from Candor, you'll see signs for a rest stop in Ellerbee. (this is the state maintained rest stop). You will also see signs for Hwy 74. Turn right. If you arent looking for it, you can pass it right up. Its hard to see. The last time I was through the area was several years ago, so it could look a bit different.
You'll go through an area where there is nothing but trees on either side of the road and out of no where, there is a small driveway on the right with a gate up in the driveway. I cannot remember if there is a mailbox or not (either by the driveway or across the road). If you pass by it, the road will keep going through a rolling tree scape, go down a hill and there is lots of pasture on the right hand side of the road. I believe the road will curve around to the left slightly.
In the fall, if you drive by it, you can see the massive house through the trees up on the hill (looking from the driveway up). Ive never been there personally, but Ive seen it from the road and what little bit I could see, I could only imagine how beautiful it is.
For those of you who are Andre fans, I hope this helps...
Blessings,
