Nope. Wife's parents purchased it in 1958 as a mere shell of a house on 180 acres. The last time it had been in the family was before the War. Satellite to the family's main plantation. There were 10 or 15 satellite plantations, ours was 2500 acres back then, with the main one plus satellites totalling a bit over 25K acres. The doctor's office from the 1840s or 1850s was on ours, that building got torn down in the 1970s. The same era school house was technically on a former part of ours, it was torn down in the 1960s and a house built where it stood.

Still capable of running carbide (acetylene gas) lamps in the old manor house. Tubing is intact, fixtures are in the attic or the garage, just need a new carbide tank. Swimming pool and pool house are where the original kitchen building was. Fig trees growing out of one original brick cistern, the old TV satellite antenna the other cistern (hand dug, lined with handmade bricks, fed by handmade wooden gutters and pipes).

We're turning it back into a working farm (pecans, black walnuts and heirloom vegetables, organic eggs and meat), combined with a Southern Agriculture Heritage center, private park/campground (motorcycle friendly) and nature/naturist reserve.

Have a long way to go, right now it looks (and smells) like a chunk of Amazonia.
