An exceptional Louisiana estate of rare quality and timeless design. Custom created by renowned architect Al Jones, this remarkable home is gracefully set on 13.59 elevated acres, offering sweeping views of private ponds, manicured grounds, and Mallard Lake beyond, all with no flooding in 2016. From the moment you arrive, the property makes a statement. Classic architecture, a slate roof, soft whitewashed brick, and understated shutters create a refined European presence, while brick walkways, formal gardens, and curated landscaping by Eduardo Jenkins provide a setting that is both elegant and serene. Inside, the home is defined by warmth and craftsmanship. Authentic French fieldstone floors, hand-selected antique cypress beams, arched openings, and custom millwork create a rich yet inviting atmosphere. Natural light fills the interiors, with views of the surrounding landscape from nearly every room. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, anchored by a stunning marble island and equipped with premium appliances, including Sub-Zero, Wolf, and KitchenAid. Custom plaster detailing, a statement range, and a well-appointed butler’s pantry elevate the space for both everyday living and entertaining. Multiple living areas, each with true masonry fireplaces, provide comfortable gathering spaces, while the formal dining room offers a refined setting beneath elegant lighting and exposed beams. The private primary suite is a luxurious retreat with separate his-and-her baths and dressing areas, thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy. Outdoor living is nothing short of extraordinary. The pool courtyard is framed by structured hedges, mature trees, and expansive brick terraces, creating a resort-like setting. A large screened porch with wood ceilings, brick floors, a fireplace, and an outdoor kitchen seamlessly extends the living space, perfect for year-round enjoyment. Other features include a lifetime slate roof, full foam insulation, and a whole-house generator.
