Twin Oaks is an enchanting antebellum home with over two acres of prime Cane River waterfront property. The classic Acadian style house was originally constructed around 1860. Having miraculously survived the Union Army's Red River Campaign in 1864, the home known as the Old Sompayrac House was facing the threat of demolition in the 21st century. Thankfully, it was saved by the former owners of Beau Fort Plantation and moved to the riverfront location across the street. The current owner purchased the property in 2004 and embarked on a massive renovation project that was completed in 2008. No expense was spared in preserving the historic elements of the home while also adding modern updates and amenities. The new old house was named Twin Oaks after the two ancient intertwined live oaks next to it. The home enjoys 4,513 sqft of living area, with high ceilings, 2 fireplaces, grand living and dining rooms, 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, bonus entertainment rooms, and expansive screened front and rear porches. The grounds outside are serenely beautiful and have sweeping views of Cane River. There is over 500 feet of waterfrontage, a fantastic 2 stall boathouse, and a separate 2 stall floating pier. There is plenty of privacy and elbow room with no nearby homes on either side. However, there is a beautiful little historic church next door that is maintained but no longer operating and feels like a wonderful part of the Twin Oaks property. This incredible place is a rare find that needs to be seen in person to truly appreciate.
