616 DEJEAN, HWY 103 Highway, Washington, LA 70589

Magnolia Ridge, in the town of Washington, north of Lafayette Louisiana, was brought about by two preservationists, with an eye for beauty, in creating a most unusual fifty-eight-acre estate, with a focus on the past. The classic columned 1830 Greek Revival home is surrounded by over half-a-dozen principal dwellings, guest houses, and several out-buildings, all connected by three miles of paved walking and jogging trails, dozens of gardens, lush landscaping, ponds, fountains, and tennis courts.
