Imagine living in an estate that dates back to the pre-Civil War era.

Well, for $7.9M, Roswell's Mimosa Hall is all yours.

The nine-acre antebellum estate at 127A Bulloch Avenue has 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and spans 6,308 square feet. According to the listing, it was built circa 1840.

In addition to the 6,308-square-foot "temple-style" home, the estate comes with extensive gardens in the historic district of Roswell that include rare century-old trees, stone walls and paths, a swimming pool and a 19th century grist mill refashioned into a barn.

The listing also includes the 21-acre adjoining woods, which are within walking distance of Roswell's old town square and are for sale separately.

Fun fact: According to the listing, in the 1920s, Mimosa Hall was home to famed architect Neel Reid, who designed the home's long fieldstone driveway and double parlor.
