Own a Remarkable Piece of Louisiana History Here is your opportunity to own a truly unique piece of history. Cherokee Plantation, offered fully furnished, sits on 8.29 acres and stands as an exceptional example of the Creole Cottage—a traditional architectural style indigenous to Louisiana. The el...egant single-story home is elevated approximately six feet on brick piers, with floors, walls, and its massive hipped roof constructed from hand-hewn cypress using traditional heavy timber techniques. The four original central rooms feature bousillage walls—a mixture of mud and moss—framed between the posts and braces. The interior walls were historically painted, while the exterior was finished with weatherboards, preserving the authenticity of its Creole craftsmanship. The land on which Cherokee Plantation stands was originally part of a Spanish land grant issued to Philippe Frederique and Jacques Faure in 1795. The home itself predates 1839, when Emile Sompayrac purchased the property from his father-in-law Narcisse Prud’homme, later modifying the residence for his wife, Clarisse. That same year, the famed Bossier-Gaiennie duel took place on the grounds behind the plantation. The estate was later named “Cherokee” for the lush hedges of Cherokee roses that once framed its grand entryway. In total, the property encompasses 12.69 acres, including 8.29 acres with the main house, two barns, and additional historic structures. Across the street, an additional 4.4 acres front the beautiful Cane River, featuring a 1900+ sq. ft. two-bedroom, three-bath home with a large living room and large dining room and an expansive screened porch, plus an original outbuilding that has been thoughtfully converted into a caretaker’s cottage. Both homes come fully furnished as shown in the pictures. This property offers multiple opportunities for redevelopment. Cherokee Plantation is more than a home—it is a timeless legacy of Louisiana’s architectural and cultural heritage.
