Multiple Reasons To Buy A Southern Estate Home

The owners of WaterOak Plantation, an eighty-acre southern estate home, have made a significant price reduction for the property.

In case you missed the press releases a few months ago when they decided to sell this icon of Tallahassee history, it's worth revisiting as something this grand does not occur often in the Tallahassee real estate market.

WaterOak Plantation

You can see the full slide show of WaterOak Plantation by visiting the dedicated website for the property.

This estate represents some of the earliest history of Tallahassee.

WaterOak Plantation was founded as a small cotton plantation of 1840 acres by Richard Bradford, who’s son with the same name would later become the first Florida officer killed in Confederate action during the Civil War.

After the war, numerous plantations were created through large land buys all along the Thomasville Road, offering world-class quail hunting to affluent Northerners. Clement Griscom, a shipping magnate from Philadelphia, was one of the most active buyers.

WaterOak survives today as an eighty-acre estate home with potential for many different uses.

Prime Location In Tallahassee

Located merely 10.1 miles from Florida's Capitol building, WaterOak Plantation offers an opportunity for many prospective buyers.

Situated in the heart of the highly prized 32312 zip code, WaterOak Plantation could easily serve as a high-end development. Savvy developers could bring more opportunity to live on Lake McBride and it is already an area that has produced the largest average home sizes and highest home values in the Tallahassee real estate market.

In a nutshell, WaterOak Plantation is the "prime location" in Tallahassee.

Premiere Southern Estate Home

Ideally, Tallahassee would love to retain WaterOak Plantation as it is now, a family home that offers fields and pastures that one would expect to find it an extremely rural setting, yet in the heart of Tallahassee's high-value real estate corridor.

If you are looking for a homestead in an income-tax-free state that will continue to grow in value due to its proximity to shopping, schools, and services, then this could be your perfect solution.

Joe Wrote The Book On How To Sell A Home Today

WARNING: The Internet & digital marketing systems have changed the way sellers need to market a home for sale. It's not about getting a home sold anymore, it's about getting a home sold and netting the most money from the sale.

To do this, a seller needs to hit the digital market hard in a coordinated effort that alerts ready-buyers (all at the same time) to ensure buyers understand they are competing for the right to buy the home.

While it only takes ONE buyer to sell a home, it takes MULTIPLE BUYERS for the seller to bid the property up to its highest value in today's market. You see our full explanation about how to sell a house here, or you can buy the book and really get into the nuts and bolts of selling a home in the digital age.
