One of Mississippi’s iconic estates, including seven buildings, 15 bedrooms, 13 full baths, and four half baths on 40 acres has been sold.

The historic Canemount Plantation Inn has been sold in a transaction brokered by Talbot Historic Properties. The buyers, Stephanie and Louis Schott of New Orleans, plan to use the property as a personal residence, bed-and-breakfast, event venue, and retreat center.

Although the property was listed at $1.6 million, the final sale price remains confidential.

Built between 1851 and 1855, the Italianate-style main house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been meticulously restored under the care of former owners Dianne and Jim Harrison. The inn has long welcomed guests with on-site dining facilities and accommodations for groups of various sizes.

The Schotts, who had been searching for a versatile historic property, aim to preserve Canemount’s heritage while expanding its appeal to corporate and spiritually-based audiences.

The deal was facilitated by Tracy Talbot, broker and owner of Talbot Historic Properties, and Realtor Peter Patout, who represented the seller and buyer, respectively. “I’m honored that both parties entrusted us with this significant transaction,” Patout said. “We worked diligently to ensure the goals of both the buyers and sellers were met, and I’m excited for the new owners to build on Canemount’s legacy.”

Talbot praised the collaboration, saying, “The Harrisons’ blend of Midwestern practicality and Southern warmth created a harmonious partnership that made this deal possible. Our mutual trust allowed us to navigate challenges and make informed decisions together.”

Talbot Historic Properties specializes in buying and selling historic estates across Mississippi and Louisiana, including notable properties like Dunleith Plantation in Natchez and Albania Plantation in Louisiana. Patout, who also founded the Natchez International Crepe Myrtle Festival, continues to play a key role in preserving the region’s architectural heritage.

The sale of Canemount marks a new chapter for this iconic estate, ensuring its preservation and continued role as a destination for visitors and events.
