9560 Gulf Hwy, Lake Charles, LA 70607

Imagine calling Gulf Highway home—a stunning estate where luxury and Louisiana charm blend seamlessly on 9.25 acres of prime land. As you arrive, a picturesque driveway lined with crepe myrtles, oaks, and magnolias welcomes you, setting the tone for the beauty beyond. Architecturally French Country, yet infused with a warm coastal Southern vibe, the grand entrance boasts stately columns and operable Bermuda shutters, inviting you into a home that exudes both elegance and comfort. Originally custom-built in 2005 and completely rebuilt from the studs in 2021, this 2,500+ square-foot residence offers a fresh, modern feel with timeless details. Step inside to an open-concept layout featuring exquisite custom cabinetry and woodwork. The chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece, designed for both functionality and entertaining. Stainless steel appliances—including a double wall oven, electric cooktop, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher—make meal prep effortless. A stunning tiled backsplash, convenient pot filler, and instant hot water (available in both the kitchen and laundry room) elevate the space, while an 80-gallon hot water heater ensures comfort throughout the home. Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee at the oversized kitchen island or hosting dinners in the adjacent dining room, this space was made for gathering. The main suite is a private retreat, complete with a spa-like en suite bath, a walk-in shower, and generous closet space. Two additional bedrooms offer ample room and large closets, accommodating any need. Throughout the home, sophisticated details shine—recessed lighting, triple-stacked molding, gold hardware, and custom wooden blinds designed by Budget Blinds add an elegant finish. Outside, the charm continues with a serene 4-acre pond right in your backyard—where you can reel in 15 lb largemouth bass without leaving home! Beyond that, an additional 2.5 acres includes two separate lots, each with its own sewer system, electrical meter, and slab (one featuring a storage shed)—offering endless potential for expansion, guest homes, or rental opportunities. Enjoy the best of both worlds—peaceful rural living while being just five minutes from Burton Coliseum and the airport, and ten minutes from McNeese State University. This is Louisiana living at its finest! P.S. Flood Insurance? Just $100/month.
