Located in the last truly rural part of Ascension Parish, this home resides on what has been historically called the "Point-on-the-River" which is the site of an Acadian settlement dating back to the late 1700's. The front section of this home was built with materials from a much older home behind it, while the rear half is modern. The home is located in the heart of Plantation alley with Bocage, L'Hermitage, and Houmas House a few miles downriver, and Ashland-Belle Helene a few miles up river. The area featuring fireflies, foxes, rabbits, deer, wood ducks, and beavers is a short walk away from an unbelievable white sand beach on the actual point. It has lots of pecan trees for pecans in the fall, and experiences very little traffic on Rena Melancon Rd. The home was christened the "Levee Haven" by the original owner re-modelers for good reason-there is no more relaxing place in Ascension Parish than this. In addition to this wonderful homestead, this would be perfect for a bed and breakfast as well.

Medium Industrial District
Medium industrial is intended to accommodate heavier forms of fabrication, assembly, processing and storage, and larger scale warehousing and distribution that, by nature, may create an infrequent visual, audio or scent nuisance to nearby residential and commercial developments. Medium industrial anticipates that some components of finished products may be produced on site and assembled into a final product. Retail sales are not permitted medium industrial zones excepting when they can be proven to be auxiliary to the process for example, an outlet store for products manufactured or warehoused within the facility. Medium industrial anticipates a moderate to heavy volume of vehicular traffic. While periodic movement and storage of rail cars is permitted in a medium industrial zone, such activity should be limited in frequency so as to not present a persistent obstacle to the free flow of traffic in the vicinity of the establishment. Large scale warehousing and distribution centers are allowed in medium industrial zones with the caveat that appropriate steps shall be taken to properly plan and develop internal roadways and connections to public streets that promotes the free flow of traffic in the area.
