About This Home

There are properties you simply drive past...and then there are hidden gems that command attention like those of palatial estates the moment you turn from the lane. This property is the latter...a stately, chateau-style, villa right in the rural Oakdale, Louisiana. Its grandness is fit for royalty. Featuring 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 1 half bath, a gameroom, den, living room, and so, so much more. Tucked away on approximately 2.8 beautifully sized acres in the heart of country living down a private lane, this stately residence offers something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find - scale, presence, privacy, and infrastructure - all in one address. Homes of this caliber are not built every day, and they rarely come available in this setting. From the front, the first impression is undeniable. The home carries the kind of architectural authority that feels reminiscent of a distinguished southern estate - symmetrical lines and proportions, balance and a posture that speaks permanence. Mature trees and surroundings frame the home with natural privacy. From the back, the idea of a pool, outdoor workspace and expansive garden elude to a picturesque retreat complete with a 1500+/- square foot RV shop with 2 roll-up doors, a dog/cat kennel or chicken mansion and lots of room for the littles and 4 legged friends to roam. Much of the home's interior aesthetic reflects its era, when homes were built to last. The structure feels solid, grounded, and deliberate. All rooms are generously sized with ample storage, many built-ins can be found throughout, paneled walls that have found their way back in the most updated trends yet scream timeless and splashes of brick, beautiful stained woodwork and even a cedar closet in the primary bedroom. Two attics provide extraordinary flexibility for seasonal decor, long-term keepsakes, business inventory, hunting gear, heirlooms, etc. Both central units are approximately 5 years old and with thoughtful updates, whether cosmetic refreshes, modernization, or a full design transformation, this estate could rival properties at significantly higher price points. The 2 fireplaces, one electrical and one wood-burning, are simply lagniappe along with the bar and pool table in the gameroom which will remain with the sale. There is a transferrable home warranty currently in place. Call today for additional information and to schedule your tour of this one of a kind beauty.
