The generous carport provides ample space for vehicles or doubles as a versatile workshop.

Adding to this home’s charm is a private dock with a boat lift, nestled on the tranquil waters of a bayou. This feature not only enhances the property's allure but invites adventures right from your backyard, promising serene days on the water and easy access to open seas.

And then, there’s the tree fort. Connected to the back porch, this whimsical yet practical space is air-conditioned, making it perfect for all seasons. Whether imagined as a small art studio or a fun gathering place for younger members of the family, the tree fort with its charming small balcony adds a unique touch of adventure and creativity to the property.
