Discover "Shibui," a Ken Tate-designed architectural compound set on nearly 11 private acres approximately 75 minutes from New Orleans and within easy reach of Baton Rouge and the Gulf Coast. Inspired by Japanese architecture and the concept of understated beauty, Shibui offers a rare combination of architectural design, privacy, nature, and versatility. The estate is offered partially furnished with a curated collection of furnishings and design pieces, creating a largely turnkey opportunity for a private retreat, creative compound, wellness destination, or multi-generational residence. The main residence, "Shibui," is a custom home designed by celebrated classical architect Ken Tate. (2400 SQFT) Soaring 12-foot ceilings, 10-foot doors, extensive glass, and a dramatic glass transition connect the living, dining, and custom kitchen areas with the private bedroom wings. Architectural details include traditional Japanese-inspired screens, a custom Japanese soaking tub, and wraparound porches designed to bring the surrounding landscape into the living spaces. The main living area features a vintage Milo Baughman circular sectional sofa, which remains with the property. The primary suite includes an antique Chinese wedding bed and a private deck with an outdoor hot tub. Outside, meticulously landscaped grounds include a koi pond and Zen rock garden. A second, separate residence provides an additional 1400 SQFT (for a total of 3800 SQFT) with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, offering privacy for guests or extended family. The residence also incorporates a 600-square-foot vaulted yoga studio and executive office, creating a flexible space for wellness, creative work, fitness, or a dedicated guest retreat. The nearly 11-acre grounds are designed for both recreation and reflection. A private approximately 2-mile forested loop trail winds through the property and features outdoor sculptures, native trees, and established landscaping. Additional amenities include a private pond with custom dock, large family fire pit area, traditional teahouse, and yard storage shed. With its architectural provenance, separate living spaces, extensive grounds, and secluded natural setting, Shibui offers a rare opportunity in South Mississippi. Whether envisioned as a private family compound, artist's retreat, wellness property, or personal sanctuary, this distinctive estate provides an exceptional setting within convenient reach of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
