The city of Oxford, Ms MUST be included in the description of this wonderful property. Oxford is located in the hill country of North Mississippi and is located about 65 miles from Memphis, TN. It is the home of the University of Mississippi, affection ally known as “Ole Miss”. It is the ideal university town – small enough to make you feel at home yet large enough to offer economical, educational, and cultural advantages of a vigorous, growing urban center. William Faulkner honed fictional Yoknapatawpha County from the people and places of surrounding Lafayette County. The city was named for Oxford, England, in a successful bid to lure Mississippi's liberal arts university, this town of 12,000 sprawls out from the courthouse, described in Faulkner's 1951 novel, ''Requiem for a Nun,'' as ''brooding, symbolic and ponder able, tall as cloud, solid as rock, dominating all.'' Faulkner still matters here. A majestic bronze statue of him, resting on a bench, pipe in hand, flanks the entrance to City Hall. His home, Rowan Oak, is soon to reopen for tours after a multimillion-dollar refurbishing. Oxford is also home to nationally recognized primitive painter and authoress Theora Hamblett. It is currently the home of contemporary authors John Grisham, Jimmy Reed and Barry Hannah. It is the site of many historic homes such as Cedar Oaks, Ammadelle and Isom Place. The entire downtown Oxford Square has been established as a Historic Landmark and is on the National register Of Historic Places. Oxfords cultural heritage encompasses more than famous authors and historic homes. Year round events—drama, concerts, exhibits, performances, festivals and athletics’ – fill the cultural calendar. 
Also worth mentioning is Holly Springs National Forest, a 147,000-acre mix of public and private land. The estate is adjacent to this sprawling national forest. It attracts many of its citizens escaping for the weekend. The park's 50 or so lakes (dug by the Soil Conservation Service) were originally intended for flood prevention and erosion control, but are today also used for warm-water fishing, boating, swimming, and more.
