Welcome to Oakwind!!!!! Construction of the home started in 1846 and was completed in 1850 by Squire Lowry who settled in Perry County from North Carolina. As you walk around and through the home it really makes you appreciate the artisan and craftsmanship that took four years to erect this masterpiece. After being vacant for years the house was considered one of Alabama's endangered historic sites by the Alabama Historical Commission. The current owners purchased the home from the Perry County Historical and Preservation Society restoring this property to its former glory in the early 1990's cutting no corners and with meticulous detail to historical preservation. The home is beautifully furnished with period pieces and with custom detail (all furnishings and appliances are included in the sale). The home sits on approximately 21 acres with plenty of open space, an oak grove and hardwood timber. The original kitchen sits behind the home with a working wood burning fireplace. There is an enclosed workshop with a cement floor, large barn for storage and an old garage. Adjacent to the main home is a guest house tucked away in a pecan grove. The guest cottage was built around the 1930's and would make a great rental property or BnB. Also included in the sale of the property is 5303 John Deere tractor, bush hog, finishing mower and box blade to keep the property pristinely manicured. If for any reason power goes out there is a Generac generator run by natural gas that will power the whole house. Buyers will need to present a pre qualification letter from their lender or proof of funds before viewing the property.
