Pass through the gate, down the long, winding drive and you'll find a peaceful 9.5-acre retreat with a resurrected center hall farmhouse as the centerpiece. Just a few features of the grounds include a paddock, extensive vegetable garden as well as a serene pond with wooden bridge and gazebo for enjoying. The original 100-year old structure was taken down to the studs and carefully brought to back to life by meticulous owners who had an incredible eye for detail. The very special restoration blended historic charm and bountiful craftsmanship with guidance from renowned architect Richard Caldwell. From the quarter sawn pine floors and custom cypress cabinets to the mahogany windows and reclaimed wood doors, so many elements echo a Louisiana vernacular. The main house offers 3 beds, 2 beautiful baths and a home office. You'll appreciate the huge storage area for farm equipment or personal tools and toys. Guest house contains a small kitchen and two bedrooms. Truly the perfect-sized estate, five minutes to the Giddy Up and only 15 minutes from downtown Covington. This special property must be seen to fully appreciate.
