Property Description
The enchanting Creole "Perique" Farm House offers a captivating retreat steeped in history, perfectly situated on 4.25 acres between the vibrant cities of New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Dating back to circa 1840, this classic French Creole-style home was masterfully crafted by a German Creole family along the banks of the majestic Mississippi River in St. James Parish. Its timeless three-bay design features spacious rooms with impressive 10'7" ceilings, lending a sense of authentic grandeur. The expansive front porch provides a serene vista of historic River Road and the river beyond. Meticulously restored and renovated in 2008, the residence seamlessly incorporates modern luxury, including central air, a chef's kitchen, and two updated bathrooms, without sacrificing its historic charm. Authentic historic "pieux" fencing graces the front yard, preserving its allure. Conveniently located just minutes from iconic landmarks like Houmas House, Manresa, Oak Alley, and Laura Plantation, this estate embodies the essence of refined Southern living. This exquisite Creole masterpiece promises an unparalleled lifestyle, whether as a full-time residence or a tranquil weekend escape.
