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. akfast 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.
