luxury houses with panoramic view for sale Mississippi, United States

Spread across two waterfront lots along the Tchoutacabouffa River sits a home affectionately nicknamed 'Gatorbank'. Clearly one of the most unique statements coming from the community of Ancient Oaks. This waterfront jewel was creatively engineered in 1967 and like all beauty queens from the past, it needed a little nip and tuck. The home was restored, enlarged and now again stands even more elegant with all the new bells & whistles but maintaining the community's architecture. As you approach the home, you're drawn to the mighty oak with lush landscaping and meandering sidewalk paths leading off the driveway. Gas-lit lanterns adorn the columns as you approach the front entrance. During the extensive renovation/rebuild, the home was gutted down to the studs and trusses. Ceilings were heightened throughout most of the original home, walls moved, room use rethought, and some walls redesigned to accommodate floor to ceiling windows that offer endless places to stop and gaze. Rocking chairs align the back porch that leads to the sun-drenched pool deck. Off the pool deck is a covered breezeway with gas fire-pit, connecting the main home with additional garages, including a boat garage, (every man's delight!). And speaking of boats, large stone slabs were meticulously placed to step down the sloped lawn leading to the new boat dock. The Tchoutacabouffa is known for its brackish water which means you can freshwater fish but also throw a cast net off your pier and catch shrimp. And only a short ride to the Gulf of Mexico and the sandy beaches along the Coastline. The new 1,200 sf addition is host to the Primary Suite. Oblivious to the fact that as you enter thru the antique entry doors, you are standing in the walk-in closet. A 32-drawer island dresser with overhead chandelier and a floor to ceiling window overlooking the water is the start of this amazing closet/suite that any woman or man will relish in filling all the closed-door sub-closets. The fireplace in the bedroom is flanked by antique french doors that lead to a private sunporch filled with more windows. The dining room was designed for BBQ get-togethers, stepping out the pool or getting off the boat. The sliders glide open bringing the outdoors in. And when you absolutely must host a fancy dinner, the room transforms beautifully. Gatorbank is all about casual, coastal living, with bits of luxury and sophistication splashed here and there, creating a unique, eclectic style.
