CULTURAL PURSUITS - I Recommend: New Iberia Area

For those taking in the Simien Open House and others venturing to New Iberia, Louisiana ...You are deep in the heart of Bayou Teche Country where I grew up! I offer a few stops to enjoy the day. But first things first - a wonderful Cajun lunch experience.
I RECOMMEND: 
BON CREOLE LUNCH COUNTER
for the best Shrimp Po-Boy ever!

I always make a point of seeking out beautiful trees. Here's William Guion's Evangeline Oak photo. I call your attention to his blog The 100 Oaks Project. 

It's Valentine's Day Weekend and could there be a more enduring symbol of love than the Evangeline Oak immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem about Evangeline and her long lost love Gabriel. It's a beautiful tree. Go see. Just 10 miles from Simien House. 

The Jungle Gardens at Tabasco on Avery Island: Breathtaking blooms throughout the year along with phenomenal bird-watching opportunities.

Shadows on the Teche: Built in 1834 and set amongst moss draped ancient oaks. Take in the well-preserved home and gardens - operated by National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Laura Plantation is an extraordinary Creole heritage site. Through exhaustive research, the owners, my friends Norm and Sand Marmillion, were the first to present the intriguing history of Creole society and the unvarnished truth about the lives of slaves. Laura Plantation is at the top of my list for plantation tour recommendations. ​

Here's another fabulous New Orleans 
jewel box exhibit!

Historic New Orleans Collection 
Presents:
 New Orleans Drawings of
Gaston de Pontalba, 1848–1851
Picture
I still get goosebumps thinking about when five years ago (while on my 2nd trip to their château), Charles Edouard, Baron de Pontalba, excitedly showed these drawings to me while I was visiting. 
He had discovered Gaston's works just a fortnight before.

They are to be treasured!
Reconnecting the Pontalba family to Louisiana has been a highlight of my life! 
The Pontalba family are guardians of our shared French Creole culture.

We're looking forward to the
Louisiana Museum Foundation's
sojourn to the Pontalba's
splendid troubadour chȃteau!

Natchez Real Estate Market on Upswing

12/16/2019

DUNLEITH IS SOLD AND TWIN OAKS NEWS!
THE JEWEL OF THE CROWN! 
Dunleith Historic Inn is Mississippi’s only surviving Temple-type
form antebellum home surrounded by columns
Picture
Maybe you’ve heard that Dunleith Historic Inn recently sold to prominent New Orleans hotelier Joe Jaeger and his business partners Mike Blattner and Randy Waesche. The property is now in good hands. I join the community's excitement about this sale.

Marketing this property allowed me to share my love, passion and belief in Natchez, and the interest I developed in Dunleith was global!  

Over three years, I attracted 24 qualified buyers and submitted 5 offers ranging between $3.5 and $4.5 million. The latter was an all cash offer in September of 2018 from a California client I represented.  

This was an extraordinarily difficult listing which required me to weather the challenges of the original seller's bankruptcy, the involvement of a court-appointed trustee, and an eventual bank foreclosure of the property. 

The foreclosure formally ended my Dunleith listing, at which point the bank pursued, without my involvement, a number of my prospective buyers, including  Joe Jaeger. 

Because I was the the agent who first introduced the eventual buyer to Dunleith, I am proud to have been instrumental in this sale. I appreciate what Dunleith means to Mississippi and lovers of historic buildings everywhere.

Joe Jaeger now joins hospitality legend Warren Reuther in choosing to invest in Natchez. More investment in this charming river city is sure to follow.  
​
​Jae
ger's Business partner Mike Blattner lives in Natchez and the group is already moving forward to reopen the luxury property as an inn, restaurant and event venue in coming months. 

For more information on Dunleith, view my 83 page property information packet here. The Jaeger team loves it!

Picture
While Natchez is a buyers market offering incredible values for historic properties, Dunleith's sale and these recent events point to a stronger real estate market ahead:
  • the location of Vidalia Denim Mills and area manufacturing growth
  • the exponential impact of the film industry and Tate Taylor and John Norris’ continual area investment
  • and the former Train Depot moving toward development. 
Everyone benefits from these developments and the positive momentum of the market starting with coffeehouses, restaurants and retail. The tree-planting beautification efforts downtown are symbolic of the progress. 

Optimism is growing in Natchez! 

I AM EXCITED TO BE 
THE LISTING AGENT FOR
THIS INCREDIBLE PROPERTY
