Must see to appreciate this Waterfront Cottage in the country! Immaculate 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath Home or Camp on beautiful Bayou Bonne Idee. It sits near the end of a quiet road, on the quiet end of the bayou. No neighbors across the bayou, so the scenery is beautiful! The newly painted deck and ramp access the front porch and entrance which is wheelchair accessible. The Kitchen was recently remodeled with new cabinets, beveled glass tile backsplash, porcelain tile countertops, and 2 microwaves. There is New Vinyl Laminate Flooring throughout the house and fresh paint too. A wonderful Screened Porch on the back could be easily enclosed for a 4 season room. The . 75 acre yard is completely fenced with chain link fencing, 3 access gates, and a solar powered automatic gate at the driveway. There are Rose Beds, a flagpole, and flowers to attract Butterflies and Hummingbirds. The beautiful Pier on the Bayou has an accessible 55 ft board walk opening onto a large 20' x 25'' deck equipped with yoyo hangers, table and benches. Plenty of room for a garden and animals. Waterfront deals like this don't come around often! More pictures to follow! Call for an appointment (24 Hour advance notice since owner occupied)
