Located within two hours of New Orleans and an hour from Lafayette, this exquisite property not only offers a serene lifestyle but also accessibility to city amenities. This beauty's harmonious blend of historical charm and modern luxury is ready to welcome you home! No previous flooding and no flood insurance required.
