If you love birds and ghosts, or at least are willing to tolerate birds and ghosts, this $675,000 home in Youngsville, LA, might be your dream home. Let’s start with the birds. Built in 1851 in the Acadian style, the home comes with both a chicken coop and a two-story pigeonnier with a spiral staircase. A pigeonnier, or dovecote, is a circular building with nest holes for domesticated pigeons. So why would you want to encourage pigeons to live on your property? It may seem odd to city dwellers who harbor anti-pigeon bias (“rats with wings” is an oft-heard phrase), but pigeons are actually a delicacy when they’re living in a gorgeous Acadian-style pigeonnier instead of eating cigarette butts outside Penn Station. They also make nice pets and can be trained to fly on command. Another feature of this home that will be a plus for some and a minus for others is that it is possibly haunted. If rubbing elbows with ghosts is on your nice-to-have list, this home is for you. Fortunately, there are also many, many features of the property with more universal appeal. The three-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 3,154-square-foot house is full of period details, including the original hardwood floors, stained-glass windows, 12-foot ceilings, and a Southern-style front porch. The kitchen is spacious and recently updated, with high-end appliances and a huge island. The two-story home also has a formal dining room, office, 700-square-foot bonus room on the lower floor, and fireplaces throughout. The luxe master bath features one of those fireplaces, along with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a double walk-in shower. The grounds include a saltwater pool, three-car carport, two covered storage areas (ideal for boats, trucks, or other vehicles), a stocked pond, gazebo, dock, and 450-square-foot guesthouse. Old-growth oaks line the driveway, and fig, orange, kumquat, apricot, and pecan trees are scattered throughout the 5 acres of unrestricted land surrounding the property. You get all of this for less than $700,000! So even if you’re feeling a little unsure of the ghosts, pigeons, and chickens, this house has a lot to offer. And if you’re an avian type with a love of apparitions, it’s all the better.
