Front

HUGE PRICE REDUCTION - NOW $140,000 (for ALL of this!)

Own a piece of pre-Civil war Louisiana history!  Built in 1803, this 4 bedroom/2 bath 2-story home on 4.7 acres was reportedly moved to its present site more than 20 years ago.  If these walls could only talk, don't you know they would have some stories to tell?  The former owner said that like many plantation homes of this era, the house was used as a Civil War hospital. 

In addition to the 4 bedrooms, the house has an old-fashioned parlor as well as a living room.  The bonus room upstairs could easily be converted to another bedroom with the addition of a closet.  Original hardwood floors remain in much of the house along with the original doors.  A front porch extends across the front of the house and features an exterior staircase leading upstairs to a bedroom.  The interior staircase is in the parlor.  The back of the house also has a large porch, which has been made wheelchair accessible by the present owner.  An outdoor metal building is divided into a kitchen complete with 1/2 bath and a workshop.  The front of the building supplies covered parking for two vehicles minimum.  There is a pond on the acreage along with mature fruit trees.

The roof of the house has been replaced with a durable metal roof, and central heat/air have been added.  The house offers tremendous character and potential as a private residence or development into a tourist attraction.  With some adjustments, the house could be converted to a bed and breakfast.

Thanks!  It has quite a bit of character--just needs a buyer with the vision.
