Does your Southern Belle need a Tara? Mansion for sale.

A recent visit to an antique market got my heart racing. I fell in love with this beautiful mansion. The southern plantation style exterior is fantastic.

Update: Anna from the UK has identified this house. She writes. "Hi Susan, what a fabulous find :)  The house is an Antebellum Plantation built using plans by 'Doll Domicile' and designed by C E Cavender, it is based on Shadows on the Teche, (more) a real Plantation house.  I have seen pictures of a number of built houses, they turn up once in a blue moon on ebay.  I even bought a set of plans on ebay that turned out to be incomplete, not nice.  I live in the UK so no built houses from the US for me but always a pleasure to see one. Best wishes Anna".

Thanks Anna!! Now I want it more than ever.
BTW. I found another one of these dollhouses on Craigslist!

A second Plantation house was for sale in Waterdown, NY.

With ten rooms and a two storey entrance hall this is the dollhouse of your dreams
I found this wonderful house at an antique market about an hour from where I live. Even if I had the $750. asking price it would have been impossible to take it home on the bus with me.

The two storey hall has a floor that, despite being a human size tile, fits  well with the style of decor.

 The house is approximately 6 feet wide and over three feet tall. It has a brass plaque that has the date 1978 and the makers name.

I believe the bathroom fixtures are made from the Realife Miniature bathroom kit.

The Mansion is a little shopworn but it is still beautiful. It would need a good cleaning and a bit of a facelift - new wallpaper,  some acetate for the windows, perhaps a re-wiring - but it would clean up really well. I have to say I was really tempted. If you are drop me a line and I will tell you where I found it. It's about an hour north of Toronto.
