With ceiling heights reaching 10'7", the main living areas offer a sense of grandeur, while the expansive front porch provides a serene spot to soak in the beauty of historic River Road and the river beyond. Acquired by its present owner in 2006, the property underwent a meticulous restoration and renovation in 2008, seamlessly blending modern comforts like central air, a modern kitchen, and two bathrooms with its historic charm. Outside, the property is adorned with historic "pieux" fencing in the front yard and suitable fencing in the rear, preserving its authentic allure. Conveniently located just minutes away from iconic landmarks such as Houmas House Plantation and Manresa, this estate offers both convenience and tranquility. Whether used as a full-time residence or a weekend retreat, the Creole "Perique" Farm House promises a lifestyle of unparalleled refinement and relaxation. Moreover, with Oak Alley and Laura Plantation just a stone's throw away across the river, this property embodies the essence of Southern living at its finest.
