Plantation Owner's Mansion For Sale in Louisiana, Louisiana USA Own One Of Louisiana's Most Historic Mansions-Plantation Asking Price: 1,750,000 € (Negotiable) Former Louisiana Plantation Owner's Magnificent Estate For Sale-
Built by one of the wealthiest men in Louisiana, E.B. Dubuisson, to reflect his affluent status, this historic mansion represents a bygone era in Louisiana and is a perfect representative of the Grandeur of the South. The estate was greatly loved by Mr. Dubuisson and many feel that he continues to watch over his dream estate today.
Edward Benjamin Dubuisson, a Louisiana native whose family lineage can be traced back to Lyon, France, was owner of a 3000 acre plantation and also served as a politician, banker and most important, a devoted father; a father who with his wife, the former Rosa Dupre (descendant of Louisiana Governor Jacques Dupres) proudly raised 10 children including a Rhodes Scholar and West Point Graduate.
In 1925, the original antebellum family home on the property was replaced with the current mansion (actually completed in 1927 after close to three years of meticulous construction) to service the needs of the large family. At the height of his success when the current home was commissioned to be built, Edward Benjamin Dubuisson spared no expense which can be seen in the oak floors on the first floor, the solid brass hardware throughout, the elegant molding and wainscoting, the rare crystal "diamond center" doorknobs, the careful attention to detail to the landscape (including the planting of 7 Pinetrees representing the 7 boys, 3 Magnolia trees representing the 3 girls and 10 crepe myrtles in the backyard near the carriage house representing all 10 children), the list goes on and on.
The mansion itself offers 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms (3 full baths and 2 half baths),majestic pillars, 5 working fireplaces, sweeping central staircase, butler's pantry, kitchen, formal dining room, breakfast room, ladies' parlor, grand parlor, sauna, walk-in attic, master suite with a separate sleeping area and a historic wine cellar. There are expansive grounds that include 200+ year old oak trees, mature landscaping, a swimming pool, a spacious back yard with a carriage house (complete with a beautiful horse-drawn carriage) surrounded by a privacy fence. The home has over 10,000 useable sq ft.
The Mansion is one of the most photographed homes in Louisiana. It has been the preferred site of many prestigious fundraisers and its opulent setting has helped charities and several current politicians raise thousands of dollars.
Ideal for a Bed and Breakfast, Office, Weddings, Special events, Restaurant, or as a private residence.
SELLER WILL CONSIDER TRADE FOR A TRIPLE NET-LEASED COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
Some antique furniture original to the home as well as the magnificent draperies remain. Other period furniture can be purchased.
