A timeless Georgian-style estate built in 1947 and lovingly known for generations as ''The Big House,'' this remarkable property rests on 6 peaceful acres in Lake Cormorant, MS, surrounded by rolling hills and serene waterfront views. Hand-built with care and intention, the home reflects enduring craftsmanship, rich history, and incredible bones. The main residence spans 5,582 square feet and offers 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. A grand foyer sets the tone upon entry, with a formal living room to the left and a den or study to the right--each centered around its own fireplace. The living room flows seamlessly into a sunroom overlooking the lake, while the adjacent formal dining room also captures beautiful water views, creating an ideal setting for gatherings and entertaining. Between t he dining room and kitchen, a spacious hall provides additional serving and entertaining space. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring an island, double ovens, and a mudroom for everyday convenience. Hardwood floors extend throughout the home, adding warmth and continuity. On the main level, two bedrooms share a full bathroom, complemented by a centrally located half bath. Just off the side of the home, a charming covered patio overlooks the pond, offering a peaceful place to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. Two separate stairwells lead to the upper level, where the home truly unfolds. Here, you'll find two expansive primary suites, each with its own private sitting room with a fireplace, beautifully tiled bathrooms, and scenic outdoor views. Two additional bedrooms complete the second floor, along with double doors in the hallway that open to a quaint balcony. A large attic provides ample storage and potential for future expansion. The large basement adds even more functionality, offering generous storage space, housing a newer boiler, and featuring an impressive storm shelter or vault. Beyond the main residence, the grounds continue to impress. Behind the home sits a three-car garage with an attached greenhouse, along with ample space to accommodate 6+ vehicles when parked in tandem. The property is thoughtfully equipped with an irrigation system and an invisible fence, enhancing both convenience and livability. You'll also find an impressive shed affectionately known as ''the dam house,'' and a charming guest cottage. The 850-square-foot guest house includes a fireplace, one bedroom, a full bathroom, a full kitchen, and a screened-in porch--perfect for hosting guests or extended stays. Further into the property, a barn and an exceptional commissary building offer even more versatility. This impressive 2,784-square-foot structure includes a full kitchen and two full bathrooms, making it ideal for gatherings, events, or flexible use. With abundant parking and a setting that blends privacy, history, and possibility, this estate is a rare offering--graceful, storied, and truly unforgettable.
