Set on just over 8 acres framed by sugarcane fields and centuries-old Live Oaks, this estate offers peaceful southern living.The main home underwent a thoughtful restoration in 2019 and features 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. The property also includes a recently renovated barn, now operating as a charming guesthouse/Airbnb and two detached outbuildings currently used for storage.
