Description

The Jean Marie Laran House - A Historic Treasure in the Heart of Ville PlatteStep into a rare piece of Louisiana history with The Jean Marie Laran House, a beautifully preserved raised cottage built in 1883 and located on iconic Main Street in Ville Platte. Surrounded by majestic live oaks--one of which is officially registered--this property offers a storybook setting for those with a passion for the past and a vision for the future. Originally built by French descendants, the home showcases timeless architectural details, including a full-length front gallery and striking exposed ceiling beams that echo its European heritage. Carefully updated beginning in the 1920s, the home has retained much of its original character, from the handcrafted woodwork to the original fireplace mantel that still anchors the space. With 1, 072 square feet of flexible space, this property currently serves as a commercial location but could easily be converted back to a charming residence. In fact, it once operated as a museum, offering a glimpse into local heritage and community pride. Recognized for its cultural significance, the home was nominated for State Historic Preservation designation in 2007 and is officially on the National Register (No. 7001486). Ideal for entrepreneurs, small business owners, or those who cherish vintage craftsmanship, this property offers limitless potential--be it as a boutique, gallery, office, or cozy historic home. Plus, included in the sale is a separate rental cottage located just behind the main house, offering additional income or guest accommodations. Whether you're a history lover, antique enthusiast, or creative visionary, The Jean Marie Laran House invites you to write your next chapter in a setting as rich and distinctive as your ambitions. Schedule your private showing today and discover the legacy waiting to be revived.Show Description
