Description

Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort. This beautiful two-story home, over 175 years old, has been a proud part of Jeff Davis Parish history and now offers the perfect blend of old-world charm and thoughtful updates. Surrounded by towering 200-year-old oak trees, fruit trees, and a tranquil countryside setting, it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Louisiana heritage. This 3901 sqft home boasts 5 bedrooms and 2 baths with endless opportunities. The home welcomes you with a wraparound covered porch and a spacious deck, ideal spots to sip your morning coffee while listening to the birds sing. Inside, you’ll find five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a cozy gas fireplace, and modern conveniences inside and out such as a Generac generator, a security system, and updated finishes throughout the past decade. The home also has closed cell foam underneath and in the attic to help with heating and cooling. Outdoors, the property shines with 1.7 acres in Flood Zone X, a fenced yard on a blacktop road, and a fully stocked pond designed to self-sustain its fish population thanks to natural vegetation and a dedicated well. The ecosystem that this pond offers is absolutely spectacular. A three-car garage with automatic doors and a 110 outlet for electric vehicle charging ensures both practicality and future-forward convenience. There’s even a large chicken coop out back for those who dream of farm-fresh eggs. Though tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, you’re still just minutes from town and only a short drive to Lake Charles, giving you the best of both worlds. This home is more than walls and acreage; it’s a living piece of history waiting for its next chapter. Will your family be the one to continue its story? All measurements are m/l.
