This Louisiana Home Has a Lazy River, a Rock Cave, and a Soundproof Party Room. It's Listed at $1,050,000.

Reddit called it a "Louisiana McMansion / Undercover Water Park" and advised followers to scroll through all the photos before forming an opinion. That is good advice. At 124 Houmas Drive in Houma, Louisiana, a 5,547-square-foot home on one acre has been listed at $1,050,000 — and the backyard alone justifies the price of admission.

The Backyard Fantasy Land

The listing uses the phrase "backyard fantasy land" without irony, and the evidence supports it. The centerpiece is a lazy river and resort-style saltwater pool, surrounded by waterfalls cascading into a rock cave — which, in a detail that may be the single best sentence in any listing this year, includes a half bath inside the cave. Fire features throughout the exterior are controlled by phone. A booking area and gazebo are fully equipped for outdoor grilling and entertaining. The pool and spa are heated. The entire perimeter is wrapped in brick and wrought iron fencing with Aztec fascia and crown molding along the exterior walls. The listing notes there are "too many amenities to mention" and invites buyers to come experience the property in person. This seems like reasonable advice.

The Soundproof Party Room — and the Rest of the House

A custom staircase leads to the party room, which is soundproofed and outfitted with a bandstand, a large retractable movie screen, theater seating, a full bar with beer fridge, wine cooler, Sonic ice machine, dishwasher, top-tier stereo and camera systems, and — per the listing — real wine barrel tables that will convey with the property. Inside the main house, four bedrooms each have operable transoms above the doors, there are several fireplaces including a double-sided unit, travertine and wood floors throughout, soaring ceilings, a chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, a second kitchen, a large den with oversized windows overlooking the backyard, and a primary suite with a clawfoot tub, soaking tub, and walk-in closets. The three-car garage, outdoor kitchen, outdoor shower, and cabana are among the supporting cast. The listing acknowledges there are too many amenities to list. It is not wrong.

The Internet Has Thoughts

Naturally, this listing caught the attention of Reddit's r/zillowgonewild community. See what people are saying about it here.
