About this home
Discover Routhland - A Rare 1815 Historic Masterpiece in the Heart of Natchez
Nestled at the end of a long, gracefully winding paved driveway, Routhland awaits like a hidden jewel amid 10.68 acres of rolling Mississippi landscape. Majestic, registered live oaks--over 200 years old--gracefully frame this magnificent mansion, creating a scene of timeless Southern elegance and tranquility.
In 1790, 180 acres of land was granted by Francisco Luis Héctor de Carondelet to Job Routh.[3] He built a mansion called Routhland in the 1790s, but it was burnt down in 1855.[3] Another mansion called Routhland was built in its place for Job Routh's daughter, Mary Routh, and her husband, Charles G. Dahlgren, and it later was renamed Dunleith when purchased by planter Alfred Vidal Davis.
This Routhland Originally begun in 1815 in the refined Federal style by John Routh on his father Job Routh's storied land, this is the only surviving home bearing the proud name ''Routhland''--a direct legacy tied to the grand antebellum era (and the original Routhland plantation that later became the renowned Dunleith Mansion). In 1871, it welcomed the 24th Governor of Mississippi as its owner, adding layers of political and historical prestige. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977, the home evolved through thoughtful remodeling into a striking Italianate beauty, blending classic symmetry with romantic Victorian flair.
Spanning 6,676 sq ft in the main residence (with a total under-roof area of 12,562 sq ft), the mansion offers grand proportions perfect for luxurious living or grand-scale entertaining. Three charming, fully separate guest cottages--each featuring two bedrooms and a full bath--provide immediate income streams through short-term rentals, Airbnb, or overflow accommodations.
This is more than a home--it's a prime investment opportunity in one of America's most historic towns:
• Transform it into a sought-after Bed & Breakfast or boutique inn, capitalizing on Natchez's famous Pilgrimage Tours and year-round tourism.
• Host unforgettable weddings, events, or corporate retreats amid the oaks and antebellum charm.
• Create a private family compound or multi-generational estate with ample space and privacy.
• Enjoy existing rental income from the cottages while preserving this irreplaceable piece of history.
Held by only the third generation of owners since 1946, Routhland has been lovingly maintained and stands ready for its next chapter. Step into Southern history, luxury, and opportunity--where every detail whispers stories of cotton kings, governors, and enduring legacy....
