Property Description

This Historic Bayou Lacombe property is located on 8.25 acres. It boasts 1/4 mile of winding waterfront lined with a variety of mature trees, including beautiful Live Oaks, Cypress, Magnolias, Pines, and Pecan Trees. Over four acres of this private sanctuary are completely wooded with trails and abundant wildlife. The main house was originally built in 1867 and restored with extensive additions in 1977. Since its rediscovery in 2021, the home and property have been extensively renovated and updated by the current owner, who has worked tirelessly to maintain and highlight the home's historical character. This multigenerational, 3-bedroom, two full-bathroom home has over 3,000 square feet of living area and an additional 1,000 square feet of porch space, providing many spots to take in the gorgeous natural landscape. The prize view is an Artesian Well-fed 3,750-square-foot pond, which is home to bass, perch, and turtles! An 800-square-foot detached guest house and a 375-square-foot workshop complete this unique property. Every room in this iconic home has a view of natural gardens, including antique rosebushes and a vegetable garden. Multiple living areas and flexible rooms offer many possibilities for a home office, playroom, media room, or even a bunk room to suit the owner's needs best. Located less than an hour from downtown New Orleans, this exceptional property offers a peaceful retreat from city life or the opportunity to enjoy your own year-round dream home. The property is 1/4 mile from The Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, and you can pitch your own tent, canoe, or kayak from your backyard all the way to Lake Pontchartrain. The house is in Flood Zone C. See attached past five-year Improvements.
