Description

This property is a diamond in the rough. It will inspire that special buyer. The property is filled with history. It was built by Darmas Broussard in the 1800's. E. Broussard Road was named after Darmas' son Eloi Broussard. The home sits on 4.27 acres of land. The front of the home faces a 200+ year old live oak tree still growing and providing a beautiful setting for the house. The rear of the house is towards the river with the original water well still there. Beyond the centuries-old-live oak tree is the general store. The general store ceased operations in the 1960's. Most of the buildings on this property are old cypress. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs and 2 bedrooms upstairs. All bedrooms feature their own fireplaces. With some TLC this property could be a magnificent Bed and Breakfast using the general store to serve meals, photography business, wedding celebrations, ranch, a wonderful plantation home, etc. Just use your imagination and go back in time. Attached is the history of the home. Current as of 2012-07-17.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "There are many families around here and a reasonable number of parks to amuse the young ones. Park maintenance is pretty awesome with only a scattered couple being in less than desirable locations. The sense of community is dependent on when and how often one chooses to engage with their neighbor but I’ve never met an unfriendly one. Animals are loved, but cats seem a little pervasive with fewer stray dogs. The individuals that do have dogs are rather lax with leashing policies and picking up their dogs poop though- likely due to the fact that no neighbor complains at seeing an off leash dog in the neighborhood. Otherwise it’s a great place to live. "
