Welcome to Mississippi’s most expensive old house listing. So interesting to see that the shoo-fly fan is still intact over the dining room table. They were mainly operated by enslaved people and later servants. The rope would be pulled to keep flies away. The house was built in 1856. It is located on 45 acres in Natchez, Mississippi. Wish they posted a regular picture of the house instead of the painting. The home is currently used as a bed and breakfast. There are two cottages on the property. Six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 13,168 square feet. $3,900,000
