Property Description
Nestled in a quiet stretch of woodlands this unique home feels like a private sanctuary where nature sets the pace of the day. A variety of wildlife wanders through the understory giving the feeling of calm pastoral warmth. Above all, the retreat sits along a seasonal migration route for passing flocks of birds. The 5-bedroom, 4-bath country cottage has 3800 sq ft of AC area plus 3000 sq ft of porches all constructed from the surrounding forest, and refurbished lumber from a St Francisville plantation. The expansive wrap-around cypress porch with French Settlement railings provides a 360-degree view of the pond, meadow, and forest. The spacious great room has soaring 20ft ceilings featuring hand-forged chandeliers inspired by the Southern Hotel. French doors open on three sides to the porches flooding the interior with soft light. The fully equipped kitchen is conveniently located to service interior dining or occasions on the porches. The laundry room and pantry are convenient as well. Each of the three bedrooms on the first floor has a private entrance to the porch. Upstairs includes 2 bedrooms, adjoining jack and jill bath, and an entertainment area complete with a fridge, microwave, and sink "kitchenette/coffee bar". There are 2, 4-ton HVAC compressors and air handlers which keep the interior environment comfortable along with the 6 inch fully insulated walls and special heavy gauged solar reflecting roof. Two hefty water heaters service the home. A generous 80ft x 35ft pavilion attached to the porch provides covered space for outdoor cooking, entertaining, events and parking. This beautiful cottage overlooks a lovely pond featuring a fountain and surrounding walkway. Every aspect of the home was carefully curated for optimum enjoyment of nature and comfort. Architecturally designed by Sherry Lewis (her contact information is available by request).
