Property Description
Set back on a gentle hill in the heart of Lake Cormorant, Mississippi, this gated Georgian-style estate is a striking blend of Southern charm, timeless architecture, and countryside tranquility. Built in 1947 and set across six stately acres, the property is enveloped by a sweeping lawn shaded by towering magnolia and pecan trees, their presence a graceful testament to the land's history and beauty.
As you pass through the gated entrance and wind up the private drive, the classic red brick facade of the main residence comes into view, balanced, symmetrical, and rich with character. Inside, the home boasts six spacious bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, thoughtfully laid out for comfort and privacy.
Two large wooden staircases rise on either side of the home, leading to three upstairs bedrooms, including two grand primary suites, each with its own living room and gas fireplace, creating warm, inviting spaces to retreat and relax. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms and one and a half baths provide flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.
The living spaces are a perfect harmony of formal and cozy. A formal living room opens to the dining room, where natural light spills across the hardwood floors. The den, featuring a gas fireplace, offers a relaxed space to unwind, while a bright, joyful sunroom invites you to sit and enjoy views of the rolling grounds in every season.
The kitchen, filled with charm and functionality, is just steps from a practical mudroom, ideal for transitioning from outdoor chores to indoor comforts. A full attic provides ample storage or potential for expansion, and a full basement offers additional space for hobbies, recreation, or wine storage.
Beyond the main residence, the estate continues to impress. A large three-car garage ( deep enough to accommodate 6 cars from tandem parking) sits near a charming one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage with a screened-in porch, a peaceful place for visitors or an ideal artist's retreat. A nearby structure houses all the equipment needed to maintain the immaculate property, with its wide green lawns and storied trees.
A small barn adds rustic charm and functionality, while a converted commissary serves as yet another of the estate's amenities. This impressive 2,000-square-foot structure now contains a fully equipped gym, an office and a restful den, a full kitchen, and two full bathrooms, making it the perfect space for wellness, remote work, or entertaining on a grand scale.
This Lake Cormorant estate is more than a home; it's a legacy, a sanctuary in the countryside, where history and modern living meet under the shade of magnolias, and every sunrise over the hilltop feels like a new beginning.
