Description

Lilac Hill Estate - Alfred W. Morrison House Located at 163 Highway 5 in Fayette, Missouri, the Lilac Hill Estate was built in 1832 by Alfred William Morrison, a notable Missouri surveyor and state treasurer. This stately two-story red brick Federal/Early Classical Revival home is one of the oldest in Central Missouri, proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The estate encompasses 349 acres of rolling farmland, with 116 tillable acres currently being tilled, and four scenic ponds, adding to the peaceful setting. The property is perfect for farming, outdoor recreation, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of Central Missouri. (See Supplement Remarks)

Supplements: The main house, constructed between 1832 and 1833, is a Federal-style masterpiece with 4,480 square feet of living space, offering four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Designed with classic Federal architectural features, this historic residence is complemented by a 2008-built cottage and garage with additional living space added in 2021. The cottage provides 2,210 square feet of living area, including three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage. Adding to the property's functionality, a 60 by 110-foot metal barn is equipped with a corral, working chute, and scales, while a saltwater inground pool, offers refreshing relaxation. In 2024, the property received significant updates, including a new roof, exterior paint, a new HVAC system for the family room, updated interior paint and plaster, a new water heater, and added insulation. Architectural details highlight the estate's elegance and historical significance. Twin two-story wings, a Palladian window, grand arched main entrance, keystone lintels, and hand-carved walnut mantles embody early 19th-century design, making this residence a unique example of Missouri's architectural heritage. Inside, updates bring modern conveniences with an interior staircase, a fully equipped kitchen, updated bathrooms, and a 1960s addition featuring a family room and laundry area. Original features, such as oak flooring, walnut mantles, and period light fixtures, have been carefully preserved to retain the home's historic charm. Surrounded by lush lilac bushes that inspired its "Lilac Hill" name, the estate is positioned to capture stunning southeast views and natural ventilation. The on-site-crafted bricks further enhance the home's authenticity. This extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Missouri's rich history, merging timeless elegance with modern amenities. With its historic charm, and extensive updates, Lilac Hill Estate is a truly unique offering in Central Missouri.
