Beautiful MS Delta home with 5 bedroom, 4 baths, and 6 acres all on the Sunflower River in Clarksdale, MS
Description
Nestled behind Magnolia trees and a large circular drive, you will find a timeless southern property that is truly a rare find and can be yours today! This late 1800s home is Greek Revival inspired with 4,174 square feet, 5 bedroom, 4 baths, and 6 acres of beautiful landscaped grounds. There is a brick front porch with four columns and large copper lanterns that welcomes you and beckons you inside of this amazing home.
Upon entering, there is a double entrance hall with 9.5-foot ceilings, spectacular rooms to either side, and the original heart pine floors throughout. An open floor plan flows beautifully through the house from the front entrance hall to the back doors and makes this property an excellent place for entertaining. All of the rooms in this house are newly painted with the kitchen and two of the bathrooms being newly renovated. The front portion of the home dates back to the late 1800s, but has been modernized and renovated by the current owners giving it a timeless charm that cannot be replicated.
To the right of the grand entrance, you will find an amazing formal dining room with large windows that look out onto the grounds and offers a great natural light to the room. Central to the dining room is an original column style mantel and an antique chandelier that has hosted many a sit-down dinner. To the left of the entrance there is a large den with a wood burning fire place and pine mantel that has been restored. The den is another place to entertain or to relax with family and friends in a more casual setting and by the light of a roaring fire!
The second entrance hall brings you to a conveniently placed wet bar that is central to all the beautiful rooms that surround it. A large staircase looks down on it all and leads upstairs to one of the guest rooms. Beyond the second entrance hall, the layout continues to flow into the formal living room and kitchen. The living room is elegant, but comfortable with a gas burning fireplace and yet another original column style mantel. The kitchen is located off the formal living room and is newly renovated with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. This kitchen is spacious and open with cypress beams that run the length of the 11.5-foot ceilings that are white washed and fresh! More large windows look out from the kitchen into the yard and there is a long kitchen island in the center that quickly becomes a gathering place for guests.
Both the living room and kitchen flow naturally together to French doors that open to a covered patio with a fire pit and cooking area. Beyond the covered portion of the patio is a large deck, a brick patio, and the beautiful grounds that surround the property. The outdoor patio was featured in Delta Magazine and has all of the ingredients for a perfect casual setting to relax with friends and watch football in the fall.
There are 5 bedrooms in the home and 4 full bathrooms. While there are original heart pine floors that run throughout the front of the home, hardwood floors are featured throughout the rest. The master bedroom is located in the back of the house with original brick floors from the mid-1800s that have been finished and sealed. The master bathroom has a walk-in closet, dressing room, and private bath. There is also a private patio off the master that looks out over a large hill that rolls down to the Sunflower River. The primary guest bathroom is newly renovated with a white tile shower and ship lap walls. The front bathroom is freshly painted with new floors, sink, and fixtures. The fifth bedroom is upstairs with attic access that could easily be converted into an even larger suite!
As if this home is not a spectacle in itself, the 6 acres of grounds around it make it even more special. The current owners have spent years of landscaping to make this property the secret garden that it is. There are over 30 magnolia trees that surround the property and stately oaks and cypress trees that have strategically grown around them making the property secluded and private with yards of grass for kids to run through. The circular drive takes you through these trees and gives you a daily viewing of the beautiful delta landscape. Behind the home are two large hills that roll down to the Sunflower River with more grounds and wooded areas to explore. These two rolling hills offer some of the best sledding you will find in the Delta after a winter snow! Beyond the rolling hills, you come to the Sunflower River that flows behind the property to downtown Clarksdale in one direction and to Hopson Commissary in the other. A short canoe or kayak trip down the river would lead you to live music in either direction. Traveling in the downtown direction would take you under the downtown bridges where the live music of downtown will surely trickle out over the water!
14010 New Africa Road is (1) mile from downtown Clarksdale and (3) miles from the Clarksdale Country Club. This property has all the benefits of a secluded, rural feel while still being located within the city limits. Words cannot fully describe this one and it has to be seen to be fully appreciated! Don’t miss the once in a lifetime opportunity to make this special place home!
