About This Home
You've passed the gates on Hwy 190 and wondered, ''What's behind those gates?'' Beyond the wrought iron and winding drive lies 8.76 acres of pure Southern serenity--complete with mature trees, a stocked pond, and a true estate home built for both room to grow and gracious hospitality. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a designated office, and a large upstairs bonus room. Built in 1996 as a custom design, the home blends timeless charm with thoughtful functionality. Inside, formal spaces flow seamlessly into an open kitchen, breakfast area, and den overlooking peaceful water views. The kitchen is outfitted with Sub-Zero refrigeration, double ovens, an oversized island, abundant storage, wet bar, and a double-sided fireplace. Thanksgiving and holiday gatherings practically host themselves here. The layout is rare and desirable, with two bedrooms downstairs including the spacious primary suite. The primary retreat features courtyard views, dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet. Upstairs, each bedroom has its own en-suite bath alongside a generous bonus/game room. Outdoor living is equally inviting. A breezeway links the home to a 3-car garage and 3-car carport. A courtyard and covered patio offer shaded spots to unwind in the evenings. Just steps away, a guest house serves as a studio apartment with kitchen and bath, perfect for guests or a private office. This property is more than a home--it's a lifestyle. Take your morning walk around the pond with deer or enjoy a sunset walk in silence. Secluded and tranquil, yet with easy access to I-49 and Hwy 190, you're never far from Baton Rouge or Lafayette. Minutes to Opelousas General. Land, space, water views, and privacy of this caliber would cost well over $1.5M to replicate today. Behind the gates, you'll discover what being ''home'' truly feels like--peace, beauty, and room to breathe.
