HGTV Giving Away 'Dream Home' on Georgia Coast

ST. SIMON'S ISLAND, GA — Ever dreamed of having your own beach house just down the road in coastal Georgia? HGTV could make that dream a reality.

The home-and-gardening network is giving away a house worth more than $1 million on St. Simon's Island as part of the $1.7 million grand prize in its HGTV Dream Home 2017 contest.

The winner of the contest also will receive furnishings, a new Honda Pilot and $250,000 in cash.

Participants may enter online to win twice a day through Feb. 17 — once at the HGTV website and once at the DIY Network website.

The 3,200-square-foot residence was built in the 1980s and renovated by interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn in a style the network calls Southern Transitional.

"The charming seaside location of St. Simons fits the bill as a 'dreamy' location where our fans can see themselves relaxing by the backyard fire pit or hosting friends by the pool," said Ron Feinbaum, general manager and senior vice president of Home Promotions for Scripps Networks Interactive, in a news release.

The main living spaces in the home reflect what HGTV calls an entertaining-savvy layout that features muted, muddy earth tones mixed with bright whites.

Comfortable furniture and formal statement pieces are intertwined with casual textiles, and there's a selection of modern art.

The house's three bedrooms and four bathrooms take their cue from the property's mossy vegetation with shades of green, and the neutral browns are a nod to the nearby beaches.

And, as if the beaches weren't enough, the home comes with a pool.

Viewers can catch the HGTV Dream Home Special which airs New Year's Day at 8 p.m. ET on HGTV.
