Property Description
Welcome to 708 Ratliff Ferry Road, a unique property nestled in Madison County, Mississippi. This exceptional estate encompasses two charming homes on 11 expansive acres, offering a serene and private living experience. (We will consider selling the back home first and then the front home and a lot.)
The main home features three generously sized bedrooms and two and a half baths. It provides ample space for comfortable living with a separate dining room, a spacious living room, a well-appointed kitchen with a breakfast area, and a convenient office and den. The home is move-in ready, offering the option to reimagine its layout to suit your preferences.
The second home, built in 2006, is a two-story art studio with a tranquil atmosphere. Enjoy picturesque porch views of the lake that inspire creativity. The studio's ground floor presents a delightful 24x36-foot great room with a full kitchen, while the art studio space of 21x36 feet offers efficient working areas, storage, and accessible facilities.
The upper floor holds a full Jack and Jill bathroom and a two-bedroom apartment with an efficiency kitchen. This versatile space could serve as a master suite or a retreat for creative endeavors.
Surround yourself with nature on this property, featuring a private pond stocked with bass and bream. The screened porch offers breathtaking views of the lake, perfect for witnessing sunrises and connecting with nature.
Notable updates include two new roofs in 2020 and recent painting. An equipment barn housing a workshop with water and electricity adds practical value.
Previously owned by an acclaimed artist and author, this property holds a storied history. It offers the rare combination of two homes, expansive acreage, a serene pond, and a profound sense of tranquility.
The bream and bass are biting and ready for your children or grandchildren to make lifelong memories.
The land is expansive enough to keep horses or ponies or an additional lot to sell.
Discover life in a beautiful country setting surrounded by caring neighbors and live in a healthy and safe environment.
Seize the opportunity to make this your forever home.
