About This Home

309 Academy Street

Welcome to one of the most charming and storied homes in the heart of Farmerville—where timeless character meets thoughtful updates and modern comfort. Situated on a rare 1.32-acre lot stretching from street to street in historic downtown, this remarkable property offers a presence you simply don’t find anymore. From the moment you arrive, you'll find towering shade trees, and an inviting front porch swing to set the tone for what lies within. Step inside and you’ll immediately feel it—the craftsmanship, the warmth, the history. Soaring 12-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, arched entryways, and intricate built-ins create a space that feels both grand and welcoming. The family room features a rare cork tile floor and cozy reading nook, offering a one-of-a-kind retreat you won’t see anywhere else. Downstairs, you’ll find beautifully preserved details like decorative tile fireplaces, beadboard walls, and a classic clawfoot tub—blending vintage charm with everyday livability. The kitchen was thoughtfully renovated with custom cabinetry and a farmhouse sink, while bathrooms have been tastefully updated over the years to maintain the home’s integrity. The hand-carved staircase is truly a centerpiece—leading you upstairs to two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, laundry area, and a versatile media/library room perfect for relaxing or hosting guests. Outside, the property continues to impress with mature landscaping including wisteria, fruit trees, and two stately live oaks. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof (2024), HVAC (2022), PEX plumbing, updated insulation and ductwork, storm windows, and fresh exterior paint. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, this property offers incredible flexibility—whether you’re looking for a primary residence, weekend retreat, or income-producing investment. Its location just minutes from Lake Darbonne makes it even more desirable. This is more than a place to live—it’s a piece of history.
