Some properties have an address. This one has a legacy. Gated and private on 100 acres of rolling northeast Mississippi timber and pastureland, this is the historic Rainey Estate -- Tippah Lodge -- built by millionaire adventurer Paul J. Rainey in 1901. A photograph exists, taken on this front porch, of Rainey and President Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt came here to hunt. Recently, his grandson made the pilgrimage to stand where his grandfather stood. The next owner will own that porch. Rainey was the first man in history to hunt lions on horseback with hounds. He drove an ambulance on the Western Front in WWI. He lassoed a polar bear solo in the Arctic. His wildlife films played in Hollywood. His name is on the gates of the Bronx Zoo and on a 26,000-acre Audubon wildlife sanctuary in Louisiana. William Faulkner wrote him into American literature. W.C. Handy brought his band here by Pullman car. What stands today: the original early-1900s round brick polo barn, built for 50 horses -- restored and irreplaceable. The original trophy room, stunning in scale and atmosphere. A plantation-style main residence on the original lodge footprint, with multiple sleeping areas and the famous double cedar alley leading to the front door. Prime whitetail, turkey, and small game habitat throughout. This estate is ready for a hunting lodge, private family compound, horse operation, or the one buyer who understands that you cannot build what history already built. Shown by appointment only to qualified buyers.
