Property Description
A rare opportunity to acquire one of only a handful of authentic A. Hays Town-designed homes in the Covington area, bearing a plaque from the Foundation for Historical Louisiana identifying it as an ?Original Hays Town.? A gated entry ensures utmost privacy, with a drive that meanders past a charming bridge and a reflective pond. Situated on +/- 4.3 acres overlooking the serene navigable Sheriff Bayou leading to the Tchefuncte River, offering unparalleled native land- and water-scape views, and a boat dock with electric lift. A saltwater pool and oversized patios flank the waterfront, providing a spectacular setting for entertainment or relaxation. Reminiscent of a way of life that goes back to Louisiana's roots, this magnificent home presents design elements that include massive antique beams, antique heart of pine and old brick flooring, breezy balconies, stately columns, French doors and a fabulous slate roof. The current owners undertook a significant renovation presided over by the architect George Hopkins, in which the home was raised 5' and in which antique and reclaimed materials were carefully curated in keeping with the original aesthetic. An architecturally symbiotic small barn and workshop were constructed, and a classic Pigeonerre serves as a chickn coop! A generator offers peace of mind during storm season. This classic A Hays Town floorpan includes a convenient and functional third floor with living area, bedroom, bath and kitchenette, superb for guests, boomerang kids or an Au Pair.
