If these are the kinds of things you are looking for, then this is the property for you. This is a custom-built, luxury home with 4,700 square feet on 16 acres with l.5 acre lake, all within the city limits of Starkville! Even the address, 1 Southern Cross, speaks of the uniqueness of the property. This home is located on Old West Point Road, less than 1 mile from the Highway 12 and 82 bypasses and the proposed Hilton Hotel and Pan Asian Restaurant. MSU is less than 2 miles away with no red lights between here and campus! This is a one of a kind property with this much square footage and acreage within the city limits. With kids heading to college, we are looking to downsize. This property recently appraised at $600,000. We are asking $575,000 and will also entertain trade offers for the right smaller home.

This is a ten year old, two-story Victorian style home that has a very open and light look. You will not find this floor plan in any book. We designed the home to provide maximum comfort for our family, to provide the kids with room to play, the parents with places to relax, and the family with areas to do things together. The home features two large bays on the front that extend to both floors. This gives the front of the home a symmetrical look and provides outstanding views of the lake and horse pasture.

The home itself is on an engineered-specified conventional foundation, built extra deep for stability, with an approximate 3' crawl space under the house. There is a termite contract with annual inspection. The shingles are composite fiberglass. The outside features all brick and vinyl .. no wood to replace or paint, all gutters drain underground to lake, brick pavers on walkway to front door and on both porches, large concrete drive, and six acres fenced for horses. The home has natural gas for heating and water heaters, underground electricity from 4-County Electric, city water, a treatment plant for sewage, BellSouth phone service with DSL, and DirectTV wired to 12 rooms in the home.

The property also contains a 1.5 acre stocked lake with large, mature bass and bream, a pier on the lake, an open shed on the water for boats and trailers, an 8 * 10 metal storage building (with electricity), a 10 * 12 wooden storage building with double doors on each side for ATVs, a pole shed (with electricity) with three stalls for tractors and equipment, and a five stall barn for horses with tack room, hay storage, shelter area and drive through area. There is a second small pond in the pasture for the horses.
