"From moss-draped trees to big city attractions, the [Natchez/Woodville area] also features stately mansions, cannon-lined battlefields and rich southern history. Jefferson Davis grew up here, just down the river from where Union troops began their famous assault on Vicksburg. A trek to the Capital/River Region leads to Natchez and one of the greatest collections of pre-Civil War homes in America. It also leads to the state capital, Jackson, with its new Museum of Natural Science. From the State Capital to historic Woodville, this is one of Mississippi’s grandest regions and it’s waiting to be explored."

Peter's Love For Natchez!The allure of Natchez begins with it's beauty: stately oaks and well-maintained gardens. Extraordinary historic architecture and its ideal location, high on a buff above the river, have attracted buyers to choose Natchez.
Owning a piece of history, with intact architectural details, is affordable in this buyers market. Natchez celebrated its Tricentennial Anniversary in 2016. Newcomers are breathing new life into this historic city and ushering in a new age for Natchez. This is attracting a diverse demographic. They are choosing to become Natchoozians! Natchoozians have discovered a vibrant Downtown. The longtime commitment to preservation has made the area all the more enticing with it's walk-able restaurants, cafes, shopping, and cultural events that are enjoyed throughout the year. Farm to Table is alive and well! On Saturday there’s a downtown farmers market with local produce, artisans, and live music that's created a gathering place for the community. I loved meeting the Master Gardner group! Drink local here. You’ll find a craft brewery "Natchez Brewing Company" and Charboneau Rum Distillery that’s nationally renowned. Art and Music events are held throughout the year including the Natchez Music Festival that features Opera, Broadway and Jazz each May. Natchez offers this and so much more! So choose Natchez and become a Natchoozian! I would be honored to help your find your ideal property or to serve as your listing agent. Cordially, Peter W. Patout P.S. Among my favorite Natchez sights are the Crepe Myrtles in Bloom. They’re majestic to behold! |

"Experience the legendary mystique of the Delta Region along with the exciting casinos of Tunica, Lula and Greenville. And, of course, there’s the Blues. Celebrated bluesman Robert Johnson is said to have lost his soul here. The heart of his music lives at Clarksdale’s Delta Blues Museum. Sacred Native Indian mounds dot the Delta earth, just a short hop from Leland, birthplace of the frog known as Kermit. Catfish and southern culture are both served in big helpings throughout the Delta Region. Directions to this storied region are easy: Look for cotton and a mighty big river."
Read more from the Mississippi Tourism Association. Greenville, MS is a jewel of the Delta region. It’s beauty is timeless. Each October, I look forward to the Delta Hot Tamale Festival, a must attend cultural event for the region helmed by my good friend and writer Julia Reed, a Greenville MS native. Julia helps bring together local and regional writers of national importance for literary salons and lively discussions. Of course, the tamales are not to be missed! And the genial conversation, over cocktails in this quintessential MS delta town, brings it all together for me. You might also enjoy this introduction to the Greenville area that accompanied Anthony Bourdain’s foray into the region for his CNN Parts Unknown show. It captured the raw authenticity of the region and offers 10 things to know about the Delta. Read more. Both the Natchez and Mississippi Delta regions offer incredible values for historic properties. I would be honored to assist you. Peter Patout |
