About the property:

This extraordinary historic estate, crafted in the 1860s, is a classic masterpiece situated on Covington’s distinguished South America Street and stands as a majestic testament to architectural elegance. Set upon 2 acres of verdant oak-lined grounds overlooking the Bogue Falaya River, this secluded sanctuary resides within the heart of the city’s coveted Garden District, offering unparalleled privacy and beauty. The residence’s stately white-columned façade, a symbol of timeless grandeur, has been meticulously restored to preserve its original character while seamlessly blending modern luxury. Sunlight pours into the expansive sunroom, offering breathtaking views of the sparkling pool, tennis court and lush landscape beyond — an idyllic space for both serene relaxation and lavish entertaining. The estate is further enhanced by a collection of outside structures, including a pool cabana, wine cellar, and a meticulously restored 1860s Canadian Dairy Barn. Originally shipped down and carefully restored, this remarkable barn has been transformed into a stunning entertainment space, perfect for hosting gatherings, creative endeavors, or enjoying quiet moments. With a spacious 2,626 square feet, the barn offers endless possibilities, maintaining its historic charm while providing modern comforts. The wine cellar, an intriguing feature of the property, was once the old cistern for the house. Today, it has been converted into a climate-controlled space that can hold over 900 bottles, offering wine enthusiasts the perfect storage for their collection. Each space on the property, from the main house to the outbuildings, offers versatility for living, creativity, and leisure. Every inch of this remarkable property has been lovingly maintained, offering the rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Covington’s storied past in an exclusive, tranquil setting wth views of the Bogue Falaya riverfront.
