About 74045 Military Rd

Rarely is an offering with such historical and architectural significance presented to the market. The "Lum House", a c.1830 Creole Cottage originally constructed in St. Landry Parish, was moved to Covington's prestigious Military Road in the 1990s, at which time the renowned Louisiana architect A. Hays Town was engaged to oversee a full renovation and addition. The result is a home which lives for today and seamlessly melds the aesthetic of two centuries. The original cottage employed the "Bousillage" technique inherent in Louisiana French Vernacular Architecture. Signature Hays Town design elements prevail in the addition, including antique floors, beams, and brick and beam walls. The star of the show is a massive cooking fireplace with smoker and beehive oven, constructed with over 30,000 bricks and 3 independent flues which anchors the living room. A newly renovated open kitchen with Taj Mahal Quartzite counters, upscale appliances and a spacious pantry will be the heart and center of the activity. Renovated baths, and full exterior paint are among the other recent upgrades. This home evokes the timeless aura of days gone by, situated on 7 rolling acres overlooking the Little Bogue Falaya River with a white sandy beach, old-growth plantings, abundant oaks and a citrus grove. Two "pigeonniers", one a potting shed and one a chicken coop, and a fabulous vegetable garden round out the property. Set far back from the road with an electric gated entrance, ensuring privacy and peacefulness, this is a very special and rare property only minutes into Old Covington's restaurants and festivities.
