1257 Watershed, Ville Platte, LA 70586

Welcome home to this amazing two-story log cabin and food gardener's delight in quiet, wooded Bayou Chicot! The house features an airy living-dining area with a wide brick fireplace extending all the way to a cathedral ceiling and a roomy, open-design kitchen with new copper farmhouse sink and lots of cabinets. It's a great place to entertain! Also, downstairs: a bedroom and a large bathroom with claw foot tub and old-style pull-chain toilet. Upstairs: two more bedrooms and a second bathroom. Relax on the screened porches gracing both front and back. Or step outside and enjoy the many blueberry bushes, antique and Knock Out roses, the wide variety of fruit trees, which include figs, persimmons, peaches, plums, and Asian pears, and an extensive enclosed garden with 26 low raised beds, herb planters, more fruit trees, and three rows of muscadine vines on single-wire trellises. For food professionals or cooking enthusiasts, there's a second building boasting a fully equipped commercial kitchen, space for an office or game room, and an unfinished second floor you can use for storage or a few extra beds. Behind the main house is a charming area protected by a stockade fence with still more garden beds, muscadine vines, a long, well-maintained pool, a large, screened wooden pool house- perfect for cooking and storage- a greenhouse filled with citrus trees, and near the rear fence, a row of tall kumquat and satsuma trees. Home, pool, gardens, and storage buildings occupy about one acre; behind it, the majority of the property is wooded. While the house is connected to the city water system, there is also a well, which supplies an automated, underground sprinkler system running from the rear fence all the way to the front of the property. All this and a back-up propane generator, too. Truly a rare find! Call today to schedule your showing.
