A picturesque piece of history located on the banks of the Bayou Teche. Passing the Heaton House in a car or boat will astound you. The breath taking scenery will inspire a poet to write and artist to paint... The home is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is found on the bayou, lined with cypress knees and all the southern charm you can imagine. The 3 bed 2 bath 2546 sq/ft home sits on almost 4 acres of land and has been carefully updated with modern amenities, seamlessly blending the original with the new. Many recent renovations create a lifestyle of both elegance and livability while highlighting the historic features of the home. A curving walnut staircase and paneled ceilings are interesting features of this landmark. The original wide floorboards are found throughout the house. In addition to being a magical piece of history, it also offers a detached cottage, detached workshop, and a detached garage. Plantings, gardens, drainage, and the installation of a restored cistern are among the fine additions made to this home. The original construction of the 735 sq/ft cottage or guesthouse was cypress board and batten that has been covered by weatherboarding and the interior has been modified to accommodate a kitchen living room and bathroom in a subsequent renovation. This place spurs the imagination - time seems to move more slowly. You're drawn to listen to the birds, watch the wildlife, read a book, sip a glass of wine, unwind enjoy life with limitless possibilities
