Situated on over ten acres of prime bayou-front property, this Greek Revival masterpiece, designed by renowned New Orleans architect Barry Fox, channels the iconic elegance of the Tara plantation from Gone with the Wind. With its towering columns and grand entryways, this home brings the grandeur of the Old South into the present day. Passing through the front gates, you're greeted by gas-lit lanterns and a sprawling front yard adorned with a stately fountain and lush landscaping. The main living areas feature a grand foyer with a spiral staircase, a spacious formal dining room, a double-faced hearth connecting the formal living room and billiard room, and a grand bar room designed for entertaining with a wall of windows overlooking the bayou. Every detail has been crafted with both function and beauty in mind. The kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with a Wolf 48'' gas range, Sub-Zero appliances, and a large island that seats nine—perfect for gatherings large and small. Below the main living level you'll find a custom wine cellar designed for the avid collector, complete with Wine Guardian commercial-grade temperature and humidity control, and an adjoining entertaining area/ flex space. Located on the upper-level, the primary suite offers a grand entryway with a wet bar and beverage fridge. Off the bedroom is a private office with floor-to-ceiling windows, a gas fireplace, and retractable awnings. The master bath features a jetted tub, mounted TV, glass walk in shower, and a spacious closet with his-and-hers sides. The outdoor area features a heated gunite pool with a swim-up bar and hot tub. The expansive outdoor kitchen includes a hybrid fire grill, wine fridge, and ice maker for seamless al fresco dining. The private boat dock with solar-powered lifts offers easy bayou access, and the rooftop gazebo provides panoramic water views. The property includes a climate-controlled 3-car garage equipped with a Tesla supercharger, along with a 3-car carport for additional parking.This is more than just a house; it's a lifestyle. From the Greek Revival architecture to the lush grounds and grand interiors, this home is a true Southern estate—a timeless retreat designed to celebrate the art of living well.
