Welcome to Scarlett Oaks – an extraordinary 1,028-acre legacy property that represents the pinnacle of recreational southern living. A rare and irreplaceable assemblage more than 40 years in the making, this iconic estate features more than 2 miles of frontage on Doster Road, one of Madison‘s most treasured country roads, and over 1.5 miles on scenic Double Bridges Road, with gated entrances on both frontages and a mile of paved drive winding through shady trees and picturesque creek beds to connect them, and set the stage for an elegant arrival.
At the heart of the property lies an 8-acre private lake and a breathtaking 10,000+ square-foot residence, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping water views from expansive patios and wide verandas. The stately home reflects the gracious style of a true southern estate, with a marble-floored foyer and sweeping staircase, formal living and dining rooms with fireplaces, a lakeside kitchen and informal dining room, an upper level trophy room, and a richly paneled study with built-ins and wet bar. Nearly every rear-facing room opens to outdoor living spaces overlooking the lake, and each of the 7 bedrooms is an en-suite retreat with a full private bath and walk-in closet in each.
The lower level has a full caretaker or guest suite with private kitchen, bath, and living area and an additional 4-car garage. A private elevator serves all levels, and a full-sized attic - already stubbed for future bedrooms and baths - offers room to grow. The estate also includes a detached office building with a half bath, that’s ideal for managing land operations or working remotely.
