Property Description

One-of-a-kind estate near LSU. This is the 2-acre estate of A Hays Town. Designed and built by the legendary architect himself. Steele Burden was a close friend of Mr. Town, and Steele and Hays planted all of the live oak trees on the property. Mr. Hyman, from Lafayette, and Mr. Town cultivated and planted all the crepe myrtles that form the allees in the back of the property. Every design feature was throughout and implemented by Mr. Town. Brick walls were added, real flagstone patio revised and expanded, brick arches added to the walled courtyard. The open-air Garden Room faces the huge flagstone patio, the primary bedroom has a bay window that faces the brick paved garden with fountain, the Office (Guest House 1) views a walled brick courtyard with raised beds and iron gate. A unique and much photographed property, this home and elements of the home and yard have been featured in magazines such as Southern Living and Veranda, architectural and design magazines and articles around the country. The property consists of a 3 bed, 3 bath home with front and back porches and verandas, Garden Room that faces the flagstone patio and brick courtyard with fountain, Office (Guest House 1), a workshop, Honeymoon Cottage (Guest House 2), a pigeonnier, gazebo, brick walls and courtyards, and 2 acres of land (2 lots). Each building on the property is unique and built at different times in Mr. Town's life and career. There are influences of French, English, Spanish, and lots of European garden elements. Mr. Town was the leader of using reclaimed materials, and this home is a masterpiece. Beams, bricks, mantels from the salvage yards, cypress paneling, antique brass hardware, reclaimed doors from a French armoire made into a closet door. Imported flagstone, reclaimed soft reds and hard tan bricks abound. Slate roofs, reclaimed hardwood floors, hand made and designed copper and iron light fixtures. This historic and architectural property is legendary.
