 I happened to catch this helicopter hovering over the #1 tee at Castlewoods Golf & Country Club while dozens of golf balls were dropped onto the course. This event is in conjunction with the Chamber Cup Golf Tournament sponsored by the Flowood Chamber of Commerce. Golf balls were raffled off and a lucky winner walked away with $500!  Are you interested in a home with a view? If so, you can reach me at 601-278-4513.

Each year this home, located in Castlewoods Subdivision in Brandon, MS, is decorated for Christmas. There was no music the night I took the photo, so my only suggestion would be to add audio. Can you imagine the amount of work involved to put this display together? It's a beautiful sight to behold. Wishing You and Yours a Very Merry Christmas!

The following photos taken at Castlewoods Country Club depict the change in scenery during autumn weather. The first photo was taken late afternoon on October 28. Leaves are just beginning to turn and the golf course is still green.The next photo was taken two weeks later. The leaves continue to turn, the grass is still green, and the lake is a gorgeous shade of blue.The following photo was taken in late November. You can see Mother Nature is slowly taking her toll on the golf course. The tree in the foreground is almost bare.December 2nd - some of the trees have lost their leaves, the course is no longer green except for the tee, but the golfers don't seem to mind.December 8 - Snow Day in Brandon (and most of central MS)   The snow melted the following day and life in central MS went b...

Today closed a chapter in a client's life. We sold the home they had lived in for 20 years while raising their family so they could move into something smaller and close to their children.The house sold fast and at full price. It was on the market less than a week before we received multiple offers.During one of my visits to the house, I noticed a framed painting of the house prominently displayed on the mantle. I inquired about it, and was told it was a gift from a family member the year they purchased their home.This is how Madeleine Court looked when I put it on the market last month.Little has changed, except the trees have flourished. The front landscaping disappeared over time, but otherwise the artist's rendition remains very similar to how the home looked when it was first built...

There is an 18-hole golf course with tennis courts, a swimming pool, and clubhouse that supports the local housing market, as well as quality schools, shopping, and churches nearby, making Castlewoods a desirable residential neighborhood. The property shown is a 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath home tucked away in the Willows of Castlewoods in an area called Willow Ridge.I barely had time to put the "For Sale" sign in the ground on this property before the phone began to ring.  My blog mentions Castlewoods in several articles like this one. At any given time, about 50 homes are for sale in Castlewoods, ranging in price from the mid $150,000s upwards of $550,000, so there is a price range for everyo...
