Welcome to a hidden oasis, just minutes away from the allure of historic Saint Francisville. This enchanting estate, nestled in the upscale Glynns Subdivision adjacent to the Myrtles Plantation, offers unparalleled privacy on 37+ acres of West Feliciana Parish's most scenic landscapes. A mere 3 miles from the heart of Saint Francisville, this three-story Victorian home provides a tranquil retreat, a haven of peace surrounded by nature's bounty.

The grounds are a sanctuary of tranquility, adorned with woods, ravines, and a private pond featuring an iron bridge leading to an island crowned by a gazebo. Embrace the countryside, and keep your eyes peeled for glimpses of deer, hawks, armadillos, raccoons, possums, snakes, and perhaps an elusive alligator or two.

Step into the newly renovated 5-bedroom home, where architectural treasures salvaged from New Orleans mansions evoke a sense of grandeur. The first floor boasts a powder room, well-appointed kitchen, dining room, living room, family room, and a bedroom. Ascend to the second floor, featuring four bedrooms, a back sitting porch, washer & dryer, and 2.5 bathrooms. The third floor, an exclusive domain for the owners, doubles as an office during their visits.

Beyond the 9-foot-tall solid mahogany doors, discover elevated wooden decks leading to a rustic gazebo shaded by majestic sycamore trees. The kitchen fireplace invites warmth as you prepare meals using double wall ovens and an island cooktop. Enjoy delightful conversations on the second-floor porch, savoring wine while the sun sets over the tree line. In warmer months, cool off with a refreshing dip in the pool.

Adjacent to the main house stands a converted pool house, a unique structure crafted from salvaged timbers. Behind, a two-story barn, built from 120-year-old timbers reclaimed from the old Woodville High School, awaits transformation into a recreational haven for gatherings and storytelling. This magical estate harmonizes the charm of a bygone era with modern comforts, offering an escape where time stands still amidst the whispers of nature.

Adding to the allure, an upstairs bunk room beckons with two queen beds and a cozy sitting area, providing both comfort and communal space. The aesthetic grandeur of Ridgecrest is elevated by its unique collection of over sixty original Edna Hibel artworks, transforming the residence into an art gallery, a testament to sophistication.

For those who relish culinary pursuits, the spacious kitchen is a culinary haven, complemented by an elegant dining room and a well-appointed wet bar. The open floor plan seamlessly connects these spaces, creating an ideal setting for entertaining.

French doors from the main living room unveil an outdoor sanctuary—a patio adorned with a custom pool and a cooking area featuring a wood-fired hearth. Guests are invited to bask in the sun or find respite in the ample outdoor seating. The ambiance is further enhanced by the towering Oak trees lining the private drive, adding a touch of majesty to the beautifully landscaped surroundings.
