Help Preserve our Early Louisiana History Word is spreading amongst historians, major learning institutions, and cultural supporters to develop the next chapter for Maison Chenal. Here's why it's worth saving. Please allow 4 seconds for video to load.  By keeping the Holden Collection and architecture intact, we hope to
find a buyer that appreciates the need to preserve the Tout Ensemble. Thank you for spreading the word to potential buyers! See my Maison Chenal Page and Blog, and Facebook Friends of Maison Chenal Bayside Enters New Era!  New family to own and care for this historic gem. Previously in Roane family for nearly 90 years I'm excited to announce that Bayside Plantation has sold. And with this sale, a few important things have happened. 1) Working with my broker Tracy Talbot, founder of Talbot Historic Properties, we successfully balanced the interests of both the buyer and seller as dual agent for $775,000. 2) Well-preserved historic homes command higher prices - and by setting a new high market value for the Teche Country region, you can expect that this bodes well for other historic homes and for the strength of that market. We also believe that historic homes offer the buyer a more satisfying living experience. Bayside has been well-maintained. Built in 1850, the home is on the National Historic Register and sits on 11.8 acres along Bayou Teche. The house is surrounded by a grove of ancient live oaks draped in Spanish moss. Further, many architectural details remain intact.  3) We are thrilled Bayside Plantation's new owners are throughly committed to the future care of this exceptionally beautiful home and property!
