Phelps Country Estate is a historic estate developed between about 1900 and 1904 and located near Carthage, Jasper County, Missouri. The main house is a large two-story, eclectic Late Victorian style dwelling constructed of locally quarried Carthage marble. It has a red tile hipped roof and features a wraparound verandah. Also on the property are the contributing well house, caretaker's cottage, carriage house, workshop, silo, and large barn. [2] :1-2

Historically, an estate comprises the houses, outbuildings, supporting farmland, and woods that surround the gardens and grounds of a very large property, such as a country house or mansion. It is the modern term for a manor, but lacks a manor's now-abolished jurisdictional authority. It is an "estate" because the profits from its produce and rents are sufficient to support the household in the house at its center, formerly known as the manor house. Thus, "the estate" may refer to all other cottages and villages in the same ownership as the mansion itself, covering more than one former manor. Examples of such great estates are Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, England, and Blenheim Palace, in Oxfordshire, England, built to replace the former manor house of Woodstock.
