The Denton

The Denton in Forest, MS

Discover the beauty of The Denton, a grand local landmark estate on a large working farm located in Forest, MS (Just east of Jackson). This 147 acre farm was built in the 1940's in a classic farm style with hints of mid-century magic hidden in the fixtures. This property includes the 5251 sq ft estate with 4 beds and 5 baths as well as 2 cottages (each are 2 bed 1 bath) and a 3rd 2 story former office/residence. The farm has 2 barns and several pastures which were used to house and train Tennessee walking horses not so long ago.

The mansion stands tall with regal columns and a Juliet balcony featured at the front. Inside you'll find original oak floor, large full length windows and built-in solid wood bookcases are featured in the game room, lounge as well as the loft upstairs. The home also has handicap accessible showers and an elevator. The formal dining room has been able to host dinner parties of up to 28 and the living room once held a wedding with 40 guests!

The spacious kitchen has so much room for gatherings with a double oven, 2 islands and a beautiful copper sink. The bedrooms are so large it easily sleeps 11 adults quite comfortably. You will find beautiful chandeliers throughout the estate but the true jewel is the lavish copper bathtub in the primary bedroom suite.
