John C. Babb and his wife Frances met and were mar

John C. Babb and his wife Frances met and were married in Barranquilla, Colombia, in 1944. His successful career as a geophysicist allowed them to travel the world, living in South America, Canada, and Singapore before settling in Jackson. They built their midcentury modern home in the Eastover neighborhood, with John contributing to the house’s design and Frances leaving her mark on the landscaping. In 2016, Amanda and Nathan Wells purchased the home and started renovations, including a complete restoration to the front of the house due to extensive foundation damage. The Wells turned the historic home into an ideal space for their current lifestyle, featuring character-filled spaces with bold jewel tones, warm woods, and intriguing light features.

Over 20 years ago, Bob Lloyd purchased a 1300-acre

Over 20 years ago, Bob Lloyd purchased a 1300-acre property near Canton, initially used as cropland for deer hunting. In 2017, Bob and his wife Beth began visualizing a more relaxed, permanent life in the country. Together, they dreamed up concepts of the house location, additional buildings, and surrounding improvements to establish the perfect layout of the grounds that would be lovingly known as Patina Farm. With the assistance of their friend and architect Tim Taylor, the couple brought to life the property of their dreams, designed for the enjoyment of family and friends.
