About this property

The Willis House Historic Home Retreat on 6 Acres and 35 Live Oak Trees

Get away from the city and enjoy this unique one of a kind property built in 1917. Newly remodeled with the essential modern conveniences. Enjoy the view from one of the many porches. Eat in kitchen screen porch with the view of the oak trees is the perfect place for breakfast. Large kitchen for cooking or gatherings. The home is so large, nearly 6000 sq feet H/C, each guest will find their own space to disappear and relax for a while. Even spreading out to the 4000 sq foot of porches. Board games and cards are available to play in the game room or any of the many tables throughout the house.

The property is a great place to walk and admire the 200 + year old oak trees. There were 6 original out buildings on the property and you can see the remnants of 5 of them. Hurricane Michael destroyed or damaged all of them in some way in 2018. All built around the civil war era. The property is very peaceful and perfect for a family gathering or office retreat. With 6 bedrooms there is room for everyone. Enjoy the outside on the brick patio.

The house is located in Greenwood FL which is centrally located to Dothan, AL, Tallahassee, FL, Panama City, FL (all within an hour drive) and Pensacola, FL (two hour drive). The closest town is Marianna FL about 10 min drive with shopping and larger grocery stores.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Kirkland

Host profile image
I'm Karen and I love sharing my property with you. I grew up in this beautiful home. I live in Panama City area now.

Why they chose this property

This home has my heart. I grew up in this home until I was 11 years old. I was able to purchase the home in 2022 and have remodeled the home. The home has only had 4 owners other than the Willis Family who built the home in 1917.

What makes this property unique

This property is very unique for the very spacious house and the many large oak trees that surround the home. The home also has 5 pre civil war buildings that were damaged in Hurricane Michael in 2018. The buildings cannot be entered but the historic feel of the property is noticeable. This location is also very convenient from several cities you can visit. Tallahassee and Panama City are about an hour away. Dothan AL is about 40 min away. A little farther away is Destin FL and Pensacola, both within 2 hours.
