House overview

Whispers of the past speak to us through abandoned infrastructure, museums, and a few homesteads that survived the exciting and tumultuous birthing of America.

History

The Alice C Plantation is a relic that endured the sands of time and stands today as a revitalized monument of architecture. These large homes are sculpted in memory of various influences.

The Alice C was built by Jotham Bedell in the mid-1840s, where he was influenced by historic Greek and French Creole home designs. The home is on the National Register of Historic Places for the preservation and protection of its memory.

Updates

Although the main structure and finishes have been preserved, the current owner has brought it into the 21st century with modern updates. These updates include central HVAC, new plumbing, new electrical, new insulation, a whole property generator, and high-speed internet.

The main house is the centerpiece of the property, and takes your breath away as you approach it.

The property

The house is flanked by two smaller homes that are currently being used as Airbnb rentals and an even smaller home that is being used as an art studio. However, the entire property is a masterpiece of history and nature, giving breathtaking views of historic oaks, beautiful skies, and the lazy Bayou Teche.

On the Teche itself, there are two boat slips and a climate-controlled boat house that could be used as another living space or place to relax (inside photos not pictured).
The Alice C has been featured in movies and has had an array of famous and powerful people through its doors over the years.
Most of the art and furniture in the home is period correct and is available by negotiation. A full brief of the intricate history of this home will be given upon handover to the new owner.

Note: The MLS limits agents to 50 photos. The listing agent chose the best possible photos to present the property, but another 60 are available by special request. Better yet, make a private appointment to see Alice C in person. Showings to pre-qualified buyers only. Proof of qualification is to be sent in advance.
