The “Kent Mansion”, constructed over 115 years ago, can be best described as the classic estate. Upon entering the grounds, you arrive to a drive-up cement circular driving area and large fountain. In days gone by, horse and carriages would drive up to another area called the port couchier.
The home rests on 43.3 acres of land with approximately 30 acres of timber that was planted 4 years ago. There is also a creek running through the property named "Cool's Creek." This home was built by Walter Kent for his bride around 1897. The Kent's founded the city of Kentwood, Louisiana. They owned the brick yard and lumber company which provided the materials to construct this home. Also on the property is a fishing pond, fenced in area for horses or cows, and a very large barn area and garage.
The 6400 sq. ft. living allows wonderful potential to be a great home for the right family or a bed and breakfast business opportunity. This includes 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, formal dining room, country kitchen and solarium. The home has 8 gas and wood burning fireplaces, central air and heat. Across the front of the home is a large great room with original woodworking and exposed beams, foyer, library and10 - 14 foot ceilings. Front, side and kitchen porches add to the beauty of this home. Interior pictures are being limited to the public but available upon request. Additionally, a 40 year architectural shingled roof was updated in 2006.
A guest home was built in 1993 consisting of 2 bedrooms, 1 bath room, a 2 car garage, updated kitchen with granite counter tops , custom cabinetry, new roof & plumbing, and cement drive-ways (updated 6 years ago). Shown by appointment only.
