Nestled on the quiet waters of the lake sits one of the lake areas newest jewels. This “Ike” Capdevielle original was the last home plan the late great architect was working on when he passed and leaves yet another one of his wonderful marks on the Louisiana landscape. Upon finding the perfect lot for their family in the Graywood Development, the clients set out to build a home that would be both timeless and honoring of our rich Louisiana Architecture. They enlisted the services of Mr Capdevielle and methodically and precisely combed through all of the details for their dream home. From there, they set out to find their partner in building and enlisted the services of LaRocque Homes as their builder. Kyle LaRocque, owner of LaRocque Homes, says “building this amazing home with such a wonderful family was and is one of the highlights of his career”.

With its spacious near 10,000 square feet footprint of indoor/ outdoor spaces, this home boasts a space for every member of the family as well as their guests! The interior courtyard of the home honors New Orleans and invites all to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The outdoor living space overlooking the marsh demands your attention year round, and with its outdoor kitchen, wood burning fireplace and multiple covered areas is an entertainer’s dream! The interior of the home features 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, an amazing kitchen, wet bar, study and game room..all with custom touches from the builder and client at every turn. Reclaimed beams, ceiling treatments, cypress doors, and custom millwork/cabinets are the exclamation point to this stunning beauty.
