Some properties simply can't be recreated, and Austin Place is one of them. Set on 6 peaceful acres among rolling hills and serene waterfront views in Lake Cormorant, this timeless Georgian-style estate offers a rare combination of history, architectural character, space, and possibility. Built in 1947 and lovingly known for generations as "The Big House," the property has been thoughtfully crafted for gathering, entertaining, and gracious Southern living. The 5,582-square-foot main residence offers 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, generous living spaces, and beautiful views throughout. A grand foyer welcomes you inside, flanked by a formal living room and den or study, each with its own fireplace. The living room opens into a sunroom overlooking the water, while the formal dining room offers another beautiful setting for entertaining. A spacious serving hall connects the dining room and kitchen, adding to the home's natural flow for hosting. The kitchen features an island, double ovens, and an adjoining mudroom. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are located on the main level, along with a centrally located half bath. Outside, a charming covered patio overlooking the pond creates a peaceful spot for morning coffee, afternoon gatherings, or evenings spent enjoying the grounds. Two separate staircases lead upstairs, where two expansive primary suites each feature a private sitting room with a fireplace, tiled bathroom, and scenic views. Two additional bedrooms complete the second floor, while double doors along the hallway open onto a quaint balcony. A large attic provides abundant storage and potential for future use. The basement offers additional storage, a newer boiler, and an impressive storm shelter or vault. But Austin Place extends far beyond the main house. The grounds include a three-car garage with attached greenhouse, an irrigation system, invisible fence, the charming "dam house," and an approximately 850-square-foot guest cottage complete with a bedroom, full bathroom, full kitchen, fireplace, and screened porch. Further into the property, a barn and remarkable 2,784-square-foot commissary building add another dimension entirely. With a full kitchen, two full bathrooms, generous gathering space, and abundant parking, the commissary opens the door to a variety of possibilities—from entertaining on a grander scale to events, retreats, creative pursuits, or other flexible uses. Private yet full of possibility, Austin Place is more than a home. It is a true Southern estate with a story already written and plenty of room for its next chapter.

Step into a piece of Lake Cormorant history with this remarkable country property offering approximately 21.62 acres and a home believed to have been built around 1892 by J.M. Blythe, son of Col. Blythe, an early owner of the surrounding land, with the property remaining connected to the Blythe family for generations. Offering approximately 3,264 square feet, this distinctive Southern vernacular farmhouse with classical architectural influences has evolved over more than 130 years while retaining much of its original character, including beautiful heart pine hardwood floors, tall windows, substantial trim, high ceilings and a traditional two-story design. The front of the home features a formal living room and dining room, sitting room and fireplace room, while a spacious den/family room was added to the rear for comfortable everyday living. The floor plan includes four bedrooms, a bonus room and 2.5 baths, with the primary bedroom and renovated en suite bath conveniently located on the main level. The spacious primary bath blends vintage character with modern comfort and features a beautiful clawfoot soaking tub, separate tiled shower, pedestal sink and walk-in closet, while the additional baths have also been updated. The kitchen, renovated around 2019, offers quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry and workspace, a center island with quartz countertop, stainless farm-style sink, stainless vent hood, smooth-top range, stainless steel dishwasher and refrigerator. Additional improvements include a new septic system in 2021, renovated bathrooms and new plumbing throughout in 2022, a whole-house generator hookup added in 2022, new downstairs HVAC in 2023 and a new water heater in 2026. The home is connected to city water while retaining the option of well water and features redundant shutoffs and a water filtration system. Outside, the property continues its agricultural tradition as a working farm with pear, peach and fig trees, along with fruit bushes, a large chicken run and coop, and a rear portion of the acreage currently leased to a local farmer under a 20% share-of-profits arrangement. Five additional buildings provide tremendous versatility, including a 14' x 18' detached studio or hobby space with a sink, an approximately 30' x 50' insulated four-bay garage built around 2019 with a 220-volt RV hookup, a 20' x 26' two-car garage, workshop and barn. Rich in local history and surrounded by the peace and quiet of the Mississippi countryside, this is a rare property where the character of a circa-1892 Southern farmhouse, generations of Lake Cormorant history, thoughtful modern improvements and more than 21 acres come together in a truly special setting.
