Poised on two bulkheaded riverfront lots along the most coveted curve of the Vermilion, this extraordinary legacy estate is a rare offering in Lafayette's prestigious River Ranch. Originally commissioned for philanthropists James and Ruth Moncus, the home spans over 7,800 square feet of masterfully crafted interiors on 1.25 lush, manicured acres, wrapped in sweeping water views, antique brickwork, and the canopy of a registered 300-year-old live oak.Conceived with timeless architectural integrity, the residence features soaring ceilings ranging from 12 to 22 feet, two custom stone fireplaces, and a refined materials palette including Taj Mahal quartzite, marble, limestone, and hand-finished cherry hardwood floors. A full-scale renovation in 2017 elevated the home's living spaces to modern European standards with imported custom drapery, bespoke lighting, and an open-concept flow ideal for formal entertaining or intimate gathering.At its heart lies a chef's kitchen outfitted with a La Cornue Chateau French range, dual 36' Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezers, custom cabinetry, instant hot water, sonic ice maker, and hand-selected finishes that balance beauty with functionality.Designed for effortless entertaining, the outdoor kitchen pavilion boasts a Viking grill, commercial-grade hood, boiler, refrigerator, dishwasher, ice machine, and a third fireplace--all seamlessly connected to the main living area with accordion-style glass doors able to dissolve the boundary between indoors and out.The grounds feature a heated, automated pool and spa, edged in antique St. Louis brick and a concrete balustrade, offering panoramic river views framed by curated landscaping and discreet lighting.Additional highlights include:nfrared sauna & private exercise suite45kW whole-home generatorCat-5 wiring, Bose surround sound (indoors & out), 9 coppersmith gas lanternsThree-car garage (1 bay climate-controlled) + hand-laid brick guest parking and more!
