Casa Montano

"This is one of Georgia’s Secret Gems! Quality, heavy concrete Garden Ornaments & Sculptures made the old way. Prices are wholesale compared to what you’ll pay at a garden nursery. Carlos hand mixes everything and he handles the pouring, curing, and finishing touches while his brother now makes the molds. Nicest man in the world, Carlos will happily give you a tour of his studio. Absolutely LOVE his work!! If you’re looking for a piece from Atlanta artist Christine Sibley, Casa Montaño is the place to look. Call ahead to make sure he’s in the studio. So worth the drive from Atlanta! Nearby Judy’s is a great breakfast/lunch spot!"

"I truly enjoyed my experience during our visit looking over the awesome inventory of concrete artwork. Carlos is a great craftsman and loves his trade, he's very talented and friendly."

"What a magical studio filled with the work of a kind and talented man. Spending time in his element with his beautiful house and garden art is a true pleasure and the time he takes to share stories with you about the pieces you select makes the experience even more special. What a treasure Carlos Montaño is and how wonderful to be able to purchase his art."

"Carlos is one of the nicest people I have ever met. My wife met him many, many years ago and used to visit his studio frequently. She has many of his beautiful pieces throughout our yard and garden. It has been several years since she has visited Carlos and she always wanted one of his spectacular benches. Today I decided it was time for a surprise so I called Carlos to make sure he was in his studio. At first I was distraught because I got voicemail but Carlos rang me back and to my surprise he remembered my name and immediately asked about my wife and apologized for missing my call as he was out making a delivery but he would be in the studio the rest of the day. So, I told my wife that we needed to go for a ride, she of course wanted to know where to... I told her it was a surprise - she doesn't like surprises... So I drove an unfamiliar route to get to Casa Montano and when I turned down his street, she said "We're going to see Carlos - I love him!" Then I told her not only are we going to see Carlos, but we are going to pick-up the bench you have always wanted... Suddenly, the woman that doesn't like surprises, decided that this was the best surprise ever. After catching up with Carlos and looking at ever piece in his studio he and his assistant loaded the bench into my truck that my wife has wanted for many, many years. Carlos - thank you for your kindness and for being so happy about being part of this great surprise for my wife. Your art is so beautiful, just like the beautiful and wonderful person you are..."

"I happened across Casa Montano online when looking for garden statuary, and I'm so glad I visited! The artist, Carlos, is magnificently talented. He gave me a tour of his workshop, then shared the background of each of the pieces I chose with me. His work is high quality, beautiful, and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be back!"
