Welcome to 1339 Blankenship Dr. This home is situated on 24 beautiful maintained acre's nestled inside a flowering pecan orchard in the heart of Deridder, LA. There is an additional 129 Acres, that could also be yours. Drive down a long private drive to this beautiful all custom built home designed in the style of iconic Louisiana Architect A. Hays Town. The home was hand-built by local Mennonite Craftsmen with reclaimed antique materials throughout the inside and outside of the home. Materials you will see are beautiful 200 year old pine timbers, antique chestnut and antique oak flooring. The brick on the inside and outside of the home is all from the old Buster Brown Shoe Factory in St. Louis, MO. As you pull up to the drive you will see the beautiful brick laid throughout the pathway to the double French doors leading inside. Before you go in, enjoy the quiet, sit on the front porch which is also laid brick and watch for deer. Enter the home through the tall double doors. When you walk into the kitchen you will envision yourself entertaining. Large Island, 6 burner gas stove with pot filler, walk-in pantry for plenty of storage. Guests can enjoy the sitting area to the right, or walk under the beautiful brick arches to a large family room. Go sit by the fire while visiting with friends and family. As you head towards the primary bedroom you will see built in bookshelves with a hidden entrance to the almost finished attic. This space could be finished very easily as subfloor, insulation and framing is all complete. The primary bedroom has French doors leading to the outside patio, bathroom offers walk-in stone shower, and lovely soaking tub, and of course double sinks and double walk-in closets. The upstairs bedroom is like its own apartment, offering 532 SQ Ft. located above the garage. It has a full living/bedroom space, and full bathroom.
