Farmland for a Retreat, Second Home or Family Compound can be yours! Two hours from New Orleans, nestled in the quaint town of Brookhaven, Mississippi, is a 70-acre tract of land that blends the best of cattle farming and hunting with the romantic visions of farmhouse living. Experience a turnkey lifestyle shift from big city living to the quiet countryside of southwest Mississippi, only five minutes from downtown Brookhaven and roughly an hour to the bustling hub of Jackson. Crime is practically non-existent, car insurance is half the price of Louisiana, and you can even experience real seasons without the threat of heat and humidity. Even better? It doesn't flood. Nevertheless, this 1875 Natchez Architected House, built by P.C. Thompson before being moved to one of the most charming towns in the State, is at 500ft elevation, structurally sound and sitting 4' above an 8'' thick slab on concrete beams with a dehumidifier beneath, maintaining 50% humidity at all times. This Victorian farmhouse includes custom weatherboard with tongue-in-grove throughout and full-sized beams. The 8' wide center hall at the entrance welcomes you to Southern elegance with 12ft ceilings, inviting you to explore the lush sunroom with historic Jackson, Mississippi windows and oak stairs complemented by a railing salvaged from another historic home and accented with a flame globe stalactite shade in satin glass. Two parlors with a library, large home office (which could be a bedroom) five bedrooms and three full baths make this a spacious two-story family compound, complete with a farmhouse kitchen outfitted with a 10 x 9 island, Hallman dual-fuel range from Italy (with a 500 gallon propane tank over 150 ft away), built-in subzero refrigerator, and custom hood crafted from a salvaged piano. A full-size freezer can be found in the pantry, which was added on to this historic home using tongue-in-groove craftsmanship and Louisiana cypress. A guest suite with an additional full-size bath has been added as well. Put your stamp on it and make it yours! Bring guests for a weekend getaway to share in this abundance, with well-water tested to be pristine, sourced from 110ft beneath the ground. While this property would make a wonderful investment for any developer looking to build a subdivision, this unique 70-acre estate has been home to King Ranch Hereford cattle for over 100 years. You will find the breed grazing there even today, on fifty-five acres of rolling pastureland well-maintained and seeded with the highest quality grass. A five-wired fence secures the perimeter, while four separate pastures have been created with cross-fence, some in hardy oak. This keeps the cattle secure on what is the largest piece of farmland five minutes from downtown Brookhaven, while also ensuring the cattle cannot disturb the 3,000 sq ft kitchen garden prospering on the five-acre homestead. You'll also find a 3500 sq ft Carolina House Barn with room for a Barn dominium. Additional amenities include a 2-3-mile walking trail, a two-acre pond fully stocked with bass, and roughly 15 acres of hunting land, primarily for turkey and deer, buttressed by 210 acres of hunting land on the backside of the property as well as hundreds of additional acres to the east. Over 60% of the forest is hardwood and the land connects to the Bogue Chitto. And it's all five minutes from the Brookhaven-Lincoln County Airport — the only public air terminal in Lincoln County boasting 5,000 ft asphalt runway 75 feet in width, perfect for private planes.
