Remarks: Wade H. Jones Sr. Home at Sugar Mill Fields National Register- Listed Historic Colonial Revival Estate on 5.31 Acres 5823 Total Sq Ft | 6 Bedrooms | 3.5 Baths | Pool | New Barn | Driving up to this 113-year-old Colonial Greek Revival, you're greeted by a grand front porch adorned with California-sourced columns and an inviting front door that opens into expansive living areas. Overhead, a striking chandelier from New Orleans sets the tone for a home rich in craftsmanship and history. Offering 4,846 square feet of living area, this stately estate showcases original oak floors downstairs and maple floors upstairs, complemented by stained-glass accents, a Rumford fireplace, private library, sunroom, and an upstairs napping porch. Two clawfoot tubs preserve its turn-of-the-century charm, while modern upgrades include a tankless water system and three HVACs replaced four years ago. Chef's kitchen designed for serious cooking and entertaining with a 6-burner Thermador Professional gas cooktop with center grill and pot filler, double Thermador ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Gaggenau convection/rotisserie/pizza oven, in-counter steamer and fryer, trash compactor, new KitchenAid dishwasher, and a full butler's pantry for seamless entertaining. Outside, the property continues to impress with a heated, fenced pool and jacuzzi, a rare fully functioning cellar, two-car garage, and a new detached barn complete with a half bath. The property offers exceptional space for entertaining, gatherings, or extended living. Once home to a small Christmas tree farm, the grounds offer incredible versatility--perfectly suited for private events, weddings, or seasonal experiences. With its storybook setting and expansive layout, this estate presents a rare opportunity to serve not only as a private residence, but also as a potential income-producing or event-driven destination. More than a home--it's a piece of Louisiana history, thoughtfully preserved and ready for its next chapter.
