Set across more than 22 acres of rolling, scenic land, this exceptional estate is framed by over 50 magnificent live oak trees that create an unforgettable sense of place. Rich in character and surrounded by natural beauty, the property offers a rare blend of Southern heritage and refined craftsmanship. From the moment you step inside, reclaimed heart pine floors and exposed beams set a warm, authentic tone. Their timeworn patina tells a story, infusing the home with depth, texture, and quiet elegance. A one-of-a-kind stair banister—salvaged from a historic New Orleans mansion—serves as a dramatic centerpiece, seamlessly tying the home’s past to its present. Complementing this character are antique red bricks sourced from Jackson, Mississippi, whose earthy hues and aged finish add yet another layer of distinction. Soaring ceilings throughout the home enhance the sense of scale while allowing natural light to pour in, creating bright, open living spaces that feel both expansive and inviting. The residence rises three stories, offering generous room for everyday living, hosting gatherings, and taking in peaceful views of the surrounding landscape.
Outdoors, two serene ponds punctuate the grounds, providing moments of reflection and tranquility. Located directly on the parish line between Washington and St. Tammany, the property’s unique setting inspired its fitting name, “The Line.” Thoughtfully designed to balance comfort with character, this extraordinary home stands as a celebration of preservation, craftsmanship, and the timeless beauty of the Southern countryside. A truly rare offering, it delivers an experience that is as meaningful as it is memorable. Additional acreage may be available.
