Property Description
Nestled on five beautifully landscaped acres along the Little Bogue Falaya River, this charming 1890 cottage offers a unique blend of historic character, modern updates, and the peaceful beauty of a private estate—yet it is just minutes from downtown Covington.
Originally built as a small cottage, the home was thoughtfully expanded around the original structure and extensively renovated in 2007. The original pecky cypress room remains the heart of the home, showcasing beautiful heart-of-pine floors, a fireplace, and the character that makes this property truly one of a kind.
Enter through the light-filled sunroom, where walls of windows provide beautiful views of the grounds. From there, step into the original pecky cypress room and continue into the well-appointed kitchen featuring butcher-block countertops, custom cabinetry with pull-out shelving, a Thermador cooktop and double oven, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, GE Monogram refrigerator, wine cooler, and a convenient utility nook with Maytag washer and dryer.
A spacious formal dining room provides an inviting setting for entertaining. Two guest bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on either side of a full bath. The private primary suite features its own fireplace and an adjoining office. The luxurious primary bath offers a large walk-in shower, soaking tub, and an expansive closet with custom built-ins.
Across the back of the home, a large deck overlooks the beautifully landscaped grounds and provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the setting. A heated swim spa offers the option of a refreshing swim or a relaxing hot tub experience. Nearby, a picturesque pond with fountain adds to the tranquil atmosphere.
The property also includes a charming one-bedroom guest cottage with a kitchen and full bath with walk-in shower, cooled by a mini-split system—ideal for guests, extended family, or a private retreat. 435 sq ft guest house is not included in living sq footage.
A deep garage provides abundant storage, shelving, and a workbench. Behind the garage is a versatile barn/potting shed with a chicken coop and dedicated tractor storage. There is no shortage of space for gardening, hobbies, equipment, and all the extras that come with country living. The barn could easily convert to horse stalls.
Numerous improvements have been made, including updated windows, custom window treatments and blinds, fencing, extensive landscaping, foundation work, and replacement of plumbing and electrical. The roof on the main home, garage, and guest cottage is approximately two and a half years old. The property features two HVAC systems and three water heaters, two of which have been replaced, along with an energy-efficient heat pump.And then there is the river. The Little Bogue Falaya is easily accessible from the property, complete with your own private white-sand beach—a rare amenity so close to downtown Covington.
Cosmo's Creek is a truly special property where history, nature, privacy, and modern comfort come together on five remarkable acres. Located approximately 3 miles from downtown Covington and offered at the appraised value of $1,197,000, this extraordinary property is not to be missed.
