Welcome to Nine Mile Halt – A Timeless 100-Acre Estate on Historic Old Military Road

Nestled in complete seclusion on a pristine 100-acre landscape, Nine Mile Halt is a rare Southern retreat where historic character meets refined luxury. A private, mile-long, oak-lined drive—accessible through an elegant electric gate—sets the stage for the grandeur and tranquility that define this extraordinary estate. The moment you arrive, the sweeping canopy of majestic live oaks and meticulously maintained grounds signal a home unlike any other, where peace, privacy, and timeless beauty converge.

At the heart of the property stands an authentic A. Hays Town residence, created in collaboration with George Hopkins. Every detail exudes enduring craftsmanship and Southern charm: 10-foot-deep porches invite outdoor living in every season, antique heart pine floors and beams reflect warmth and history, and three fireplaces provide cozy gathering spaces throughout the home. The gourmet kitchen features custom cypress cabinetry, premium finishes, and an adjoining butler’s pantry equipped with a second oven, induction cooktop, wine refrigerator, dishwasher, dumbwaiter, and laundry area—ensuring effortless entertaining and daily convenience.

For guests or extended family, a private suite with a kitchenette offers comfort, independence, and seclusion. Outdoors, the property is equally captivating: winding trails meander beneath ancient live oaks, a shuffleboard court adds recreation, and garden paths provide quiet moments to reflect or enjoy nature’s beauty. At night, the artfully uplit trees create an enchanting atmosphere, illuminating the estate’s grandeur while the sounds of wildlife provide a natural soundtrack to evening relaxation.

Additional amenities include a three-car garage, a whole-home audio system, and carefully curated spaces designed to enhance everyday life while celebrating the estate’s historic and architectural significance. Whether enjoyed as a full-time residence or a weekend sanctuary, Nine Mile Halt offers a rare lifestyle of elegance, privacy, and quiet grandeur—an estate where every sunrise inspires, and every sunset feels like a timeless Southern painting.
