Property Description
Discover âShibui,â a Ken Tate-designed architectural compound set on nearly 11 private acres in South Mississippi, 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 design, privacy, nature, and versatility. The estate features a main residence (3Bed/ 2.5Bath) and nearby Guest House (2Bed/2Bath), creating a largely turnkey opportunity as a private retreat, creative compound, wellness destination, or multigenerational residence.
The 2,400-square-foot main residence features soaring 12-foot ceilings, 10-foot doors, extensive glass, and a dramatic glass transition connecting the living, dining, and custom kitchen areas to private bedroom wings. Japanese-inspired screens, a custom soaking tub, wraparound porches, and a private primary suite with an antique Chinese wedding bed and outdoor hot tub add distinctive character. A vintage Milo Baughman circular sectional remains with the property. The landscaped grounds include a koi pond and Zen rock garden.
A separate 1,400-square-foot residence adds two bedrooms and two bathrooms, bringing the total living area to approximately 3,800 square feet. It also includes a 600-square-foot vaulted yoga studio and executive office, providing flexible space for wellness, creative work, fitness, guests, or extended family.
The grounds are designed for both recreation and reflection, featuring a private approximately two-mile forested loop trail with outdoor sculptures and established landscaping, a private pond, fire pit landing area, traditional teahouse, and storage shed.
With its architectural provenance, separate living spaces, and secluded natural setting, Shibui presents a rare opportunity to own a distinctive private compound within convenient reach of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
