Description

A rare opportunity to own one of Abita Springs’ most extraordinary historic estates. Set on approximately 40 acres extending to Abita Creek, this remarkable property brings together Louisiana history, architecture, cultivated gardens, and natural woodland in a setting that has evolved over generations. The main residence, dating to 1870, has been thoughtfully restored with an emphasis on preserving its original character. Historic details include bricks believed to be among the earliest St. Joe bricks produced, along with original metal roofing creatively preserved inside the upstairs room. The estate, once home to a community of nuns, also includes a 1930 carriage house now used as a garage and workshop and a charming church/library with a bathroom and separate septic system. A screened porch overlooking the grounds provides a wonderful place to experience the peaceful setting. The land is truly exceptional. Meandering trails wind through open lawns and wooded areas toward Abita Creek, including a Stations of the Cross trail with a small cabin tucked along the path. Near the creek, magnificent cypress trees estimated to be 300–600 years old stand among the property's diverse native woodland. The cultivated landscape is equally impressive, with live oaks, azaleas, camellias, gardenias and native plantings complemented by an extraordinary collection of edible plants. Multiple grapevines, including muscadines, join peach, mayhaw, elderberry, citrus, blackberry, pineapple guava and banana plantings, along with several LSU fig varieties including Gold, Purple, Tiger and Celeste. The property's remarkable botanical diversity has been carefully documented, with 144 species and varieties identified. A detailed binder of native species prepared with the assistance of an LSU botany professor will convey to the new owner providing a fascinating record of the landscape and its natural heritage. With an artesian well, historic structures, established gardens, woodland trails and creek access, this is far more than a home on acreage. It is a property to explore, preserve and make your own. Schedule a private tour and experience the history, beauty and remarkable landscape of 73184 Keen Road.
