Southern living


About a mile from our home stands this graceful example of southern living, surrounded, naturally, by magnolia trees.

  1. A right way and a right place to live in! Surrounded by green and nature all the sides! I wish we could have so much of space here to live in the green...

  2. Oh, don't be so modest Jacob. This is your summer cabin isn't it?

  3. It's a very graceful house indeed, especially with those lovely, thin columns. But more than the house, it's the extensive grounds and lovely trees that I really like!

  4. Very, very southern. All it needs is a little hanging moss and a few belles in the garden!

  11. @ VP - No...not a mansion. This is just a single-family home and probably not all that big (perhaps 2500 square feet under air conditioning)...there are many homes in the area bigger than this one. But it's located on probably 3 + acres and looks very "southern."

  12. It is a beautiful house! Typically southern and looks like it is well taken care of. It's still raining here, but other than a few power outages around town, Ida was a very tame storm.

  13. This is what I picture for a southern home. I guess you got some rain yesterday so no need to water all of that green stuff.

  17. That's so strange, I wouldn't have imagined this to be in Florida. Even though it does have those columns, it makes me think of New England, Canada or even Ireland. It's absolutely gorgeous Jacob!

  19. Such a relaxing setting filled with Southern charm...makes a pitcher of Mint Juleps sound about right.

  20. This one probably has air conditioning. I'd certainly want that in your climate!
