1950 WILLIAMS AVE Natchitoches, LA 71457

Magnificent Historic Home, on a pristine 3-acre Cane River property, with ancient live oaks, an in-ground pool, two guest houses, storage buildings, a boathouse, and wonderful waterfront entertainment area. According to historical accounts, Tauzin is an excellent example of early Creole Architecture. This grand home was originally built in 1825 by Marcelin Tauzin, a Frenchman whose family arrived in Natchitoches during the late 1700's and amassed a vast amount of property at the northern end of Cane River. After purchasing the house and 3 acres in 1977, the current owners embarked on an extensive renovation project which was completed in late 1978. Great care and expense were employed to restore and preserve the historic elements and charm of the home while also providing modern amenities. The result is a harmonious blend of rich history and modern luxury. Since the renovation, many other fantastic features and updates have been added to this incredible property. The Big House enjoys a 4,884 sqft living area with 4 large bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, a study, living room, den, formal dining room, gourmet kitchen, and full-length front and rear balconies. The pool house, a former Tauzin Property sharecropper's cabin, has been turned into a lovely 1,031 sqft, 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage that is a favorite of residents and guests alike. There is also an enchanting 726 sqft, 1 bedroom, 1 bath waterfront guesthouse with an office and great outdoor living areas overlooking the river. These include a large covered deck with a screened cooking room, a sun deck and a cozy sitting area nestled amongst beautiful cypress trees. Last, but not least, there is 213 feet of tranquil waterfront with a seawall, well-equipped boathouse, and covered pier. One of the most significant historic homes on Cane River, Tauzin is a once in a lifetime opportunity that is not to be missed.
