Waterside living, village feel

Welcome to the Town of Lost Rabbit

Lost Rabbit sits on the edge of the Ross Barnett Reservoir and is built around a simple idea: drive less, walk more, boat often. It’s a walkable neighborhood where everyday life revolves around the water, front porches, and community gathering places.

Unlike typical subdivisions, Lost Rabbit follows a Traditional Neighborhood Development approach—homes are designed for architectural character and neighborly streetscapes, while shared green spaces, trails, and the marina create a “live where you play” rhythm.

What residents love day-to-day

  • Plaza events: weddings, concerts, food truck festivals, and waterfront walks.
  • Firepit gatherings: bonfires at sunset when the weather turns crisp.
  • Walking paths: shaded routes that connect the “town” together.
  • Natchez Trace proximity: scenic drives, runs, and bike rides nearby.
Pro move: Tour twice—once on a quiet weekday and once during an active event window. The “town” energy shows up differently (in a good way).

Town Center & Marina District

The town center is where Lost Rabbit feels most like a coastal village—gathering spaces, mixed-use buildings, and the marina all stacked into a walkable core.

A key differentiator is the mix of home types near the action: condos and live/work options near the marina, plus cottages and village homes nearby.

Live / Work possibilities

  • Office, studio, or small retail options within the town center concept.
  • Great fit for small business owners who want life + work close together.
  • Community traffic from events and the marina creates natural visibility.

Your path to ownership

Buy Now vs. Build on a Homesite

Lost Rabbit offers two common routes: purchase an available home (including condos/townhomes) or build on an available homesite with design standards that protect the neighborhood’s look and feel.

Buying an existing home

  • Fastest move-in timeline.
  • Great for buyers who want established finishes + landscaping.
  • Condos/townhomes can be ideal “lock-and-leave” options near the marina.

Building on a lot

  • Customize layout, porches, and details to match your lifestyle.
  • Best for buyers who want a fresh build (and are okay with the process).
  • Lot selection matters—water proximity and town center distance change day-to-day feel.

FAQ

Questions Buyers Ask About Lost Rabbit

Lost Rabbit is different enough from standard subdivisions that buyers usually have a few smart questions.

Is Lost Rabbit actually walkable?

Yes—walkability is part of the Traditional Neighborhood Development concept. The marina, town center, plaza, pool, firepit, and paths are designed to be close to daily life.

What home types are available?

You’ll find a mix: loft/condo-style options near the marina, townhomes/cottages in the village core, and larger estate or waterfront homes depending on location and lot.

Do I have to build, or can I buy a finished home?

Both options exist. Many buyers start by checking active listings, then compare that to available homesites if they want customization.

Quick Pros & Considerations

  • Pros: Waterfront lifestyle, marina access, community events, architectural character, walkable core.
  • Consider: Smaller lots in parts of the neighborhood, premium pricing for water views, and construction activity in developing phases.
