Property Description
Quite possibly one of the most extraordinary, unparallel, exclusive properties to come available in the entire southeast. Riverbend, the old Bell-Moore Place, is in the suburban fringes of Camden, Alabama. The house, which dates from the 1840s, once perched on a bluff overlooking the Alabama River. The residence was moved to its present site not long after its completion. The home is a 6,862 square foot home nestled upon seven acres of land.
Riverbend Home features two large formal rooms flanking a front hall and four bedrooms situated beyond an infilled breezeway. The home features 16-foot-tall ceilings which are alone inspirational! There were also the remains of formal gardens, which were best viewed from the large L-shaped porch. The previous owners not only restored the main house, but they also constructed two large rear wings, built new ancillary buildings and reinstated formal gardens and grounds. The interiors evoke an instant ancestral feel, albeit with contemporary chic and modern conveniences.
Riverbend is a classic example of “Southern Country Greek Revival”
architecture. Classical and classically inspired details are adapted to the climactic and social conditions of the Deep South.
During the Civil War, the records for Wilcox County were buried behind the house. After the war, the documents were returned safe and sound.
