Property Description
Madewood is a nationally recognized historic estate set on 18 acres of manicured grounds along Bayou Lafourche. The grand Greek Revival was designed by architect Henry Howard in 1846 and offers 15,000 sq ft of living space showcasing impressive scale, architectural detail, and event-ready appeal. A dramatic columned façade, central hall, and elegant double parlors highlight the home's classical design, while soaring ceilings, original millwork, and expansive rooms create an exceptional setting for both intimate gatherings and large events. Madewood has been meticulously restored by the current owner to reflect the passion he has for it. Recent updates include new flooring, new roof, new gutter system, updated plumbing, and electrical rewiring that provide modern comfort without compromising its historic charm. The prior owner has brought in additional structures to the grounds all varying in condition but bringing supplemental charm and versatility of the estate's use. Outdoors, sweeping lawns, mature oaks, and multiple sites make the property ideal for weddings, retreats, and private celebrations. With its blend of grandeur, acreage, and versatility, Madewood stands as one of Louisiana's most captivating and event-worthy historic estates offering an opportunity to own a recognized landmark with exceptional residential and commercial possibilities.
