Single Family Residence In Hernando

Where History Lives Beautifully! A rare opportunity to own one of DeSoto County’s most treasured estates, thoughtfully restored for today’s lifestyle while honoring its extraordinary past. Nestled beneath towering shade trees on approximately 1.3 acres, this remarkable property offers over 5,000 square feet of combined living space between the main residence and the Historic Log Cabin. The approximately 3,900-square-foot main residence offers four bedrooms, two and a half baths, a private office, bonus/playroom, sunroom/mudroom/laundry room, an inviting front porch, and a stunning screened porch designed for year-round enjoyment. Inside, you’ll appreciate craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated. Refinished hardwood floors, beautiful wood ceilings, intricate millwork, oversized windows, French doors, and multiple fireplaces fill the home with warmth and character. The spacious living room opens to the screened porch, while the oversized formal dining room is framed by spectacular, nearly floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. Designed with both beauty and function in mind, the kitchen features custom cabinetry, expansive countertop space, a dedicated prep island with its own prep sink, a gas cooktop, double built-in ovens, generous storage, and a breakfast area surrounded by windows overlooking the picturesque grounds. The refrigerator, washer, dryer, freezer, and additional appliances remain with the home. The downstairs primary suite is a private retreat featuring two fireplaces and a luxurious ensuite with custom penny tile flooring, double vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. Upstairs, the staircase leads to three spacious bedrooms, an open flex space ideal for a playroom, craft room, library, or second office, plus a beautifully renovated full bath featuring the home’s original late-1800s cast-iron soaking tub. The Historic Log Cabin, originally built before the main residence, has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its incredible character. Exposed hand-hewn oak log walls, a fireplace, updated kitchen, one bedroom, one full bath, laundry area, covered front porch, side porch, and an expansive rear deck overlooking the sparkling 18’ x 33’ swimming pool create an inviting retreat. Whether used as an Airbnb, guest quarters, in-law suite, private office, or pool house, it offers exceptional flexibility. The grounds are equally impressive with a historic barn of approximately 1,400 square feet, the original ice house, mature shade trees, a heated and cooled insulated three-car garage connected by a covered walkway, and a 20’ x 35’ RV carport complete with a 50-amp electrical hookup. Originally commissioned by the Dean family, owners of one of DeSoto County’s earliest sawmills, the estate still proudly displays original brickwork bearing the family’s name—a lasting reminder of its place in local history. While rich in history, nearly every major system has been thoughtfully updated over the years, including extensive structural improvements, HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical, roof, septic system, refinished hardwood floors, and a complete primary bath remodel. A detailed list of improvements is available in the documents. Properties of this significance rarely become available. Offering over 5,000 square feet of combined living space, a beautifully restored Historic Log Cabin, sparkling pool, historic barn, original ice house, heated and cooled three-car garage, RV accommodations, and decades of thoughtful restoration, this extraordinary estate is truly one of DeSoto County’s most remarkable properties. This is far more than a home—it’s a legacy waiting for its next chapter. Schedule your private tour today and experience its beauty, history, and craftsmanship for yourself.
