Welcome to The Outpost – A Private Retreat in the Louisiana Countryside
Relax with the whole family in this peaceful, modern-rustic getaway—where mornings are slow, nights are quiet, and nature is just outside your door. The Outpost is the kind of place that makes you want to unplug, pour a glass of sweet tea, and stay a while. Set on a full acre and surrounded by the natural beauty of Louisiana's marshland and open sky, this home was designed with comfort, connection, and calm in mind.
Whether you're here for a short escape or a longer stay, The Outpost offers a space that feels both refreshingly remote and instantly familiar.
The Setting
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the calm of this tucked-away property. The large front and back porches are made for morning coffee, afternoon naps, and evenings around the fire. Rocking chairs and outdoor seating invite you to slow down, listen to the frogs, spot birds overhead, and enjoy the expansive yard that feels like your own private nature preserve.
The home itself is situated down a quiet dead-end road—no traffic, no city noise—just the sounds of rustling trees and distant crickets. It's the perfect basecamp for rest, creative retreats, or simply escaping the pace of everyday life.
Inside the Home
The interior is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully styled with a blend of rustic charm and modern touches. Tall windows let in natural light throughout the day, and neutral tones create a sense of calm. There’s plenty of space for up to six guests to spread out comfortably without feeling crowded.
The living room is the heart of the home, with two large sofas, a leather recliner, and an oversized smart TV perfect for movie nights. An electric fireplace adds a cozy glow in the evenings, creating a welcoming space to gather after a day spent exploring or relaxing.
Dining & Kitchen
Just off the living area is a spacious dining room with seating for six. Whether you're enjoying a home-cooked meal or takeout from a local spot, there’s plenty of room for everyone to come together and share stories around the table.
The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for anything—from quick breakfasts to full family dinners. You’ll find all the essentials, including modern appliances, cookware, utensils, a coffee maker, and basic pantry items. A washer and dryer are also available for your convenience, making The Outpost ideal for longer stays.
