$15 million about 10 years ago to renovate the property


Yep, the majority of the stuff in the picture above wasn't there years ago. They put in a lot of extra cottages, the pool, tennis courts, and other additions.

Was only the main house, Boys Wing, overseers cottage, and the restaurant (Randolph House) back before the renovations.

Wasn’t that the plantation house where the owners were a couple of gay guys who had a dog wedding there that was extreme?

Over a decade ago, someone involved with the construction at a plantation house was telling me about the owners having a huge & lavish dog wedding. I thought it was Nottoway.

tl/dr for Owlie: possible Bareback Doggie style site

Just the main house or do you get all of the for 3MM? Note - I was unable to read the Advocate article before I got Ad Aids.


The article in the paper stated the entire property of 30+ acres and "other good and valuable considerations"-----whatever the hell that means.

Nottoway had most recently been owned by Paul Ramsay, an Australian health care billionaire who died in 2014. Ramsay, who bought the plantation in 1985 for $4.5 million, spent more than $15 million about 10 years ago to renovate the property.

It could involve a property exchange plus the $3.1 million.

Nottoway in hell would I let that deal pass for $3M.

You know, assuming I had an extra $50M to play with.

AKA publicly we are buying this for $3.1, but our PSA outlines other non-cash incentives; they didn't buy all of this for just $3.1 million. That's only what is public.


Exactly, this is only the cash exchange. I'm sure the next updated tax assessment will tell you a lot more about the actual cash value of the property. Or maybe not, isn't this in W. Feleciana, I have now idea about how the assessor works there.

Most of these old homes are a maintenance nightmare. If you're trying to make money with these places you need to really be churning out the customers. And there just isn't that kind of demand. So unless you just have shittons of money and don't care about a property losing money then you are in a tight spot.

Nottoway is unique though as far as southern mansions go. That place could have its own zip code.

Depends...

How much operating income did they get? Nottoway does regular tours.

Granted, they probably aren’t netting much since it is typically offered on Groupon.

The earlier thread that referenced Port Gibson got me to real estate browsing there.

The Town of Port Gibson is evidently circling the drain, the antebellum properties listed there are going for a song.

$137k c.1825 3 bed, 2 bath 3,100 sq ft on the Nat'l Register



$225k c.1811 3 bed, 2 bath, 2,766 sq. ft.



Expensive upkeep and a challenging town to live in.
