Country estate located on over 15 acres of beautiful delta grounds near downtown & the golf course in Clarksdale, MS
Description
Down a long, private driveway situated behind magnolias and oak trees and in the middle of over 15 acres, this rare find has all the benefits of the rural life while being located less than 1/2 mile from the Clarksdale Country Club and a mile from downtown Clarksdale.
The property dates back to 1916 and includes the main house, the carriage house, a workshop that is heated and cooled, and a 4 car garage. The main house is 3,747 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths upstairs and 2 half baths downstairs. The beautiful grounds include a rolling hill that the house stands on overlooking looking a pecan orchard, a fenced horse pasture, and a creek that borders it all!
The main house features a formal entrance with a master staircase leading to 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. Every room has its own unique view, starting with the formal living room with its wood burning fireplace and bay windows that overlook the pecan orchard below. The dining room and living room has its own special crown molding and an antique chandelier that accompanies the many antique fixtures seen throughout the house.
Off the dining room and formal living room is a sunroom with large picture windows and another special view of the pecan orchard and the rolling grounds around it. Next, a butler’s pantry leads to the kitchen where there are all new appliances and a kitchen island for cooking. The kitchen has a view of the grounds on either side, with retractable windows that allow a breeze to blow through when the weather is right. The kitchen also has a breakfast table area and a small desk for working.
Beyond the kitchen is a sun porch with more great windows and a view of the front yard and garden, complete with its own fountain. Also off the kitchen, you will find a large laundry room (that also comes with a view). The laundry room has its own 1/2 bath and windows looking out to the backyard. The 2nd downstairs 1/2 bath is located between the formal entrance and the dining room.
There are front and rear staircases that lead to the upstairs where there are 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Each bedroom has a gas fireplace. The master has a dressing room and a walk in closet. The front staircase that leads you upstairs from the formal front entrance has windows overlooking the front drive, making for yet another spectacular view!
The grounds of the property are just as special as the structure itself. The house sits on a hill under the shade of magnolias and oaks and overlooks the vast pecan orchard and green grass below. The orchard is completely fenced and once was the home to horses with a covered area for them. There is also a separate plumbed watering trough still in place. The green grass shines through the trees to the windows of the house above and a creek borders the property and flows around all of it and on to the Sunflower River.
Also included with the property is the original carriage house that is currently used for storage and a heated and cooled workshop that is the dream for anyone who wants to take a few steps away from home to build or craft. In the main house, there is a full attic and a 1/2 basement with an outdoor exit that can serve as a storm cellar as well.
This unique and one of a kind property truly has it all and will allow you to have the best of both worlds caught somewhere between the rural life and the city life but with access to both!
