Step back in time at Richland, a remarkable circa 1848 estate. Richland is set among 240 acres of rolling pastures, towering hardwoods, 5 ponds, a substantial creek, camellia groves and historic Southern landscape, making it a sportsman's paradise. From the moment you arrive through the breathtaking live oak canopy entrance and dedicated gatekeeper's cabin, which includes a kitchen, living area, full bathroom and 2 bedrooms, it is clear Richland is a property of rare character and significance. A picturesque drive lined with majestic hardwood timber and blooming azaleas leads to the stately home, which sits proudly on the highest point of the property, offering commanding presence and sweeping views across the surrounding land. The original detached brick kitchen, still standing today, offers a rare and authentic glimpse into the property's rich history and has now been converted into additional living quarters with kitchen, bedroom, and full bath. The main residence encompasses 6,500 square feet of living space, blending historic charm with modern comfort. Built of brick, which was extremely rare for the time, a full-length columned covered front porch stretches across the front of the home, providing the perfect setting for gatherings, evening conversations, quiet reflection, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the beautiful view. Inside, the first-floor features spacious living areas including a kitchen, formal dining room, front parlor, and main living room. The primary suite offers a private retreat complete with its own sitting room and a beautifully remodeled bath featuring custom handmade tile work. The ceilings range from 13-16' tall. The second-floor hosts four generously sized bedrooms, each with its own private bath, creating an inviting space for family and guests. The property underwent a top to bottom renovation in 1990 and was featured in multiple publications such as Architectural Digest and House Beautiful, and the current owners have renovated most of the primary residence again over the last 5 years. It is filled with antiques sourced directly from France and other areas of the South. Beyond the home, the land offers remarkable versatility and beauty. Of the 240 acres, more than 70 acres are improved fenced pastures, with the remainder consisting of mature hardwood timber, rolling topography, and scattered open fields. There are extensive plantings of camellias, azaleas, magnolias, palmettos, herbs and other native plants surrounding the house. The property presents endless possibilities--from a working cattle operation to a private recreational retreat. The five ponds scattered across the property provide Wood Duck habitat, a valuable water source for wildlife, along with opportunities for fishing and year-round entertainment. The large creek runs through the length of the property and then flows directly through to Cole's Creek which is a tributary of the Mississippi River. Richland is widely recognized for its exceptional wildlife habitat, supporting strong populations of trophy whitetail deer, turkey, and small game. The pasture areas provide excellent opportunities for dove fields and seasonal plantings such as spring soybeans and corn while enhancing nutrition and insuring an optimal ecosystem for the native wildlife. As a charming and memorable touch, the property also includes its beloved resident pigs, Rusty and Peanut, longtime inhabitants of this special place. Richland is in historic Church Hill, just 20 miles up the Natchez Trace from the beautiful city of Natchez, and 9 miles south of Fayette. It represents a rare opportunity to own a historic Southern estate where historic architecture, land, wildlife, and heritage come together in one extraordinary setting, a perfect place to escape off the grid from the hassles of the grind.
