Residenza Unifamiliare A Natchez

Experience the timeless elegance of Gloucester, a distinguished Natchez estate with more than two centuries of history. Originally known as Bellevue, this Federal-style residence was built in 1803 by Samuel Young. Purchased and enlarged in 1807 by Winthrop Sargent, Mississippi’s first territorial governor, the home was renamed Gloucester in honor of his hometown in Massachusetts. Set on approximately 7.84 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, the estate offers more than 12,000 square feet of living space. Its impressive architecture features grand columned porticos, distinctive symmetrical entrances, and elliptical windows above the front entrances. Inside, gracious formal rooms include a drawing room, parlor, library, and dining room, providing an exceptional setting for entertaining. Notable details include an early Federal-period marble mantel in the library, a striking black marble mantel in the formal parlor, and an electrified circa-1850 Waterford gasolier in the dining room. An enclosed rear gallery offers expansive windows overlooking the gardens, connecting the home’s inviting interior with its picturesque surroundings. Thoughtfully arranged gardens, pathways, and seasonal plantings create a private setting for outdoor enjoyment. Two separate guesthouses, each with bedrooms, bathrooms, and a kitchen, provide comfortable accommodations for visiting family and guests. Offered fully furnished, Gloucester blends historic character with modern comforts and furnishings selected to complement the home’s distinctive architecture. With its remarkable history, generous living spaces, guest accommodations, and landscaped acreage, Gloucester presents a rare opportunity to own an exceptional piece of Natchez’s architectural heritage.
