Enjoy the drive up the private road of this beautiful Acadian home nestled away in 16.5 park like acres of short leaf and loblolly pine, live oaks, and decades-cultured gardens of Southern Indica and Native azaleas, camellias, as well as gardenias. Listen to the wind in the trees, the drum of the pileated woodpecker, the calls of turkey and other wild birds, and the cacophony of the frogs and toads nestled in the woodlands below. And smell the freshness of the air as it drifts up the gently rolling terrain. The house overlooks a stocked 18 acre crystal clear lake with approximately 250 feet of lake frontage edged with pond cypress and native ferns. The lake is home to bass, bream, mallards, wood ducks, wading birds, and even bald eagles. The house boasts an open floor plan that seamlessly integrates living dining and kitchen areas. Solid surface countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom maple cabinets adorn the kitchen, while a gas fireplace warms the inviting living room that features 12 foot ceilings, hardwood floors and built in cabinets. With three generously sized bedrooms and two baths, each room has an inviting view of the property. The primary suite includes a large custom walk in closet, and ensuite bath and is steps away from the large covered back porch. The property includes a 22'x12' shed with an open storage area, a 16' x 25' hand made louvered-wall pole barn with 25x8' lean to. Tankless water heaters, high efficiency Trane HVAC and heater, Canadian cedar exterior planking, 40yr roof Timberline Ultra shingles. This property is secluded away from civilization, yet conveniently located 15 minutes from downtown Covington. Whether you are looking for a retreat from the city, or always wanted to live in a house that is in the country, this property offers the perfect blend of peace, privacy, and natural beauty. What a rare opportunity.
