Property Description
A breathtaking contemporary interpretation of Southern Louisiana vernacular architecture is the dramatic Coin du Lestin residence designed by Lee Ledbetter in collaboration with his acclaimed artist client. Sheltered behind a gated entry and perched on the high end of a peninsula, with unobstructed native Louisiana bayou views, this special offering includes a main home and two art studios/guest houses. The first time on the market, the imposing one story home was designed to respond to the landscape, with seemingly limitless views of Bayou Bonfouca and the protected marshlands beyond. The commanding entry facade features large shuttered windows, yet the home is designed to be viewed from the rear, with its tall brick columns, deep porches and vanishing edge pool which merges with the bayou beyond. The simple yet dramatic interiors are comprised of a spacious living room with a soaring 21' ceiling, walls of glass, and a fireplace surround repurposed from a doorway in Mexico; a tidy kitchen; wet bar; and two bedroom suites, one currently being used as an office. The material palette was carefully selected of travertine, glass, wood, plaster and painted brick, maintaining a cohesive neutral backdrop for furnishings and art. There are two additional dwellings, both working studios of the former owner, one of which includes a kitchenette and a loft-style bed and bath. These provide endless opportunities for guest quarters, gym, family compound etc. Framing this remarkable estate are grounds and gardens lovingly cultivated by the owner with native cypress, palmettos, wild irises, lilies, magnolias, and of course moss-laden live oaks. There are two generators, two docks, and a new (2024) treatment plant. This is a truly exceptional opportunity to acquire an artist's legacy home within a quintessential Louisiana waterfront paradise, just a 15 minute boat ride to Lake Pontchartrain.
