On historic and rolling Highland Road near the Country Club of Louisiana, this custom architecturally designed and built Provence France-style estate was meticulously assembled using personally chosen building materials and authentic architectural effects. The home features original antiques, custom windows and doors, limestone surrounds, stone columns, and imported roofing tiles and floors--all uniquely selected in and shipped from France. With one of the only in-ground wine cellars in the state, the residence spans three floors of massive French limestone construction and sits on approximately 11 acres (comprising five separately platted tracts of 1-3 acres each) with a large lake/pond and upland elevation over 50 feet above sea level. Mature live oaks and lush vegetation surround the property, creating a rare and private setting. This beautifully landscaped estate showcases hard-scaped and hand-carved rock elevated gardens and an antique stone fountain. The main residence offers 7,062 sq ft of living area, plus a 617 sq ft in-ground wine cellar and 1,242 sq ft three-car garage. There are four full bedrooms, including a downstairs primary suite with an adjoining master bath and dressing area featuring a make-up space, large Jacuzzi double bath, and expansive open rain shower. Massive front and rear hand-carved stone balconies and terraces extend the living spaces outdoors. Finishes include imported limestone, inlaid wooden parquet, and antique ceramic tile flooring. Two chimneys and antique fireplaces add warmth and authenticity. BATHROOMS: 3 full, 3 half baths, including a formal powder room, laundry room with toilet and sink, and a separate toilet and sink in the wine room. AMENITIES: High ceilings; hand-plastered Venetian walls; open double kitchen with prep and keeping rooms; large antique stone fireplaces acquired in France; and a custom-designed kitchen featuring DeGulio of Chicago cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigeration, ice maker, and double La Cornue stove.
