Description

A HISTORIC HOME among resplendent oaks and other mature trees on a verdant 3.422 acres. Built circa 1888 near Arnaudville, the home was moved to its present location and foundation -- piers held level by a full concrete slab -- in the early 2000s, and a new, modern roof support structure was then built. With modern-era plumbing, electrical and mechanical equipment, the home's effective economic age is much younger than appearances, which have been intentionally preserved to as close to original as...A HISTORIC HOME among resplendent oaks and other mature trees on a verdant 3.422 acres. Built circa 1888 near Arnaudville, the home was moved to its present location and foundation -- piers held level by a full concrete slab -- in the early 2000s, and a new, modern roof support structure was then built. With modern-era plumbing, electrical and mechanical equipment, the home's effective economic age is much younger than appearances, which have been intentionally preserved to as close to original as possible. This is evident in the profile, layout, and proportions including high ceilings. Square rooms open to one another with no square footage lost to hallways. The dining room accommodates the largest of tables, and a large den added to the back has a wood-burning fireplace and panoramic views of the grounds and groves. Though built before the automobile, this property now has a circle drive and covered parking for 4 vehicles or toys or a boat. The public boat launch is only a few minutes' drive away, as is culturally recognized and historically significant downtown Saint Martinville. Two sleeping rooms and a full bath (with standalone clawfoot tub) on the first level; upstairs is a large sleeping room across the width of the home (typical of Acadian architecture) with a 2-piece water closet and walk-in cedar closet. While Fournet Road and bridge appear private, they are maintained by St. Martin Parish. Existing corral behind home could keep livestock or help protect a garden. Home's raised elevation kept it from flooding even in the historic 2016 event. What can't fully be described -- and must be enjoyed first-hand by visiting -- is the experience of living in a moment on our side of nearly 140 years of Louisiana history and the sanctity of this secluded post, near a protected wildlife refuge.
