Property Description

Over 6000 sq ft under roof on 2.2 acres and just 15 minutes from Mallard Golf Club, dining, and shopping. This extraordinary Southern Plantation Revival estate masterfully blends timeless Louisiana Creole architecture with exceptional modern craftsmanship. Inspired by the grand Southern homes of the late 19th century, the residence showcases a soaring covered gallery with stained wood ceiling, a dramatic double staircase framed by stately plantation columns, brick archways, artisan ironwork, transom windows, reclaimed architectural elements, and exquisite custom millwork. Historic elegance is seamlessly paired with the comfort and efficiency of modern construction. The main level welcomes you into an expansive open-concept living area framed by striking brick archways and anchored by a gas fireplace. The chef's kitchen is bright and inviting, featuring an oversized island perfect for Sunday brunch or entertaining. Adjacent to the main floor office/flex space, the luxurious primary suite is highlighted by a reclaimed Victorian mantel and complemented by a boutique-inspired dressing room with custom built-ins and dedicated off-season wardrobe storage. The spa-like bath offers a jetted soaking tub with a designer waterfall faucet and a custom-tiled Roman shower. A concealed curved staircase, hidden behind a privacy door, leads to an impressive loft and two private guest suites, each featuring its own ensuite bath and a dedicated gaming, study, or computer alcove. Beneath the main residence, the spectacular apartment is a hidden gem offering exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, or income-producing rental potential. Unpainted reclaimed barn wood harvested from the original property, decorative transoms, and a ranch bunkhouse-inspired bath with exposed brick, a walk-in shower, and vintage-style black fixtures create unforgettable character. The rustic kitchen features granite countertops, natural stone-look flooring, and metal cabinet accents. Opening directly into the 1,588-square-foot garage you have the option to immediately transform the space into an extraordinary entertaining pavilion for large gatherings and special events. (Living sq ft does not include the 800 sq ft apartment.) Situated on just over two beautiful acres, the estate is approached by a horseshoe drive beneath mature oak trees with abundant guest parking. The nearly 1,600-square-foot carriage-style garage provides exceptional flexibility for vehicles, recreational equipment, hobbies, workshop space, and storage, while oversized sliding barn doors and plantation shutters complete the authentic carriage-house aesthetic. Throughout the home, thoughtful architectural details—including a stained-glass transom, custom iron railings, built-in display cabinet, and reclaimed historic elements—celebrate Louisiana's rich architectural heritage. This truly one-of-a-kind estate offers the romance and character of a historic Southern home with the quality, efficiency, and durability of modern amenities.
