Description

This listing is NOT a foreclosure. Located in historic Wilson, Arkansas, this restored 7,218 square-foot, four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath antebellum-style home sits on 25 beautiful acres, eight of which are in row crop production. Built in the 1930s by Jim Crain, this historic estate was designed to be a showstopper, from the front entrance to the front door and beyond. Jim Crain and Robert Lee Wilson, Jr. ran the Lee & Wilson Company, based in Wilson, which, at the time, amassed 65,000 acres of row crop land. To this day, the Crain family still owns thousands of acres of farmland in the state. The 550 foot, oak-lined drive epitomizes a Southern manor and leads you to the doorsteps of its Classical Revival home, featuring two-story squared Doric columns. If you are a wings shooter, the property also boasts a highly productive dove field. As you walk out the back door, you will find a charming courtyard lined with magnolia trees, aptly named "Magnolia Alley," complemented by a stunning backdrop view of a beautiful lake and golf course built by business mogul Gaylon Lawrence. Several years ago, he transformed the town, bringing commerce and infrastructure, including a luxury hotel, restaurants, shops, and even wine tastings.
