4979 Highland Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70808

Own a piece of Baton Rouge history on Highland Road just south of LSU! Previously known as “The Oaks, ” this 6.18 acre property presents the right buyer with a rare opportunity to acquire acreage with Centennial Oaks along the historic Highland Road corridor, not far from the south gates of LSU. Gorgeous live oaks shade the driveway leading up to the home which has been owned by the Duplantier family since the early 1800’s. The live oaks provide a beautiful frame for the 4,034 square foot, two-story home, built more than 170 years ago. The elevated front porch has operating shutters separated by three tall windows in the center. Six square columns stand sentinel below three dormers on the roof. Formal dining room. The home’s original woodburning fireplace is below the original brick chimney in the downstairs living room, while the large kitchen had been updated several years ago with a Chambers electric cooktop and double wall ovens. The kitchen also has an abundance of cabinetry, dishwasher and double sink below large windows that view the side yard. The master suite has a walk-in closet and sitting area, while an additional two bedrooms with ceiling fans and a hall bath are located upstairs. The home also has a double garage and an inside laundry room. This is truly a rare opportunity to obtain one of Baton Rouge’s most familiar landmarks on Highland Road. The bonus is six-plus acres along one of the most desirable residential locations in the city. Call today if you’d like to see this amazing, historical Highland Road property!

Beautiful property but that house is fricked

Nah. Looks like a place someone has been tortured and murdered.

it looks 100% like a murder happened there

You are probably right. It's been on the market for 163 days, when these days homes everywhere seem to be selling for above asking within 5 mins of listing.

My assistant chauffeur was telling me he may buy it as a weekend getaway during football season.

Somebody will buy it, tear down the house, and build a dozen mcmansions.

Cool place, but $5 mil seems high. I could see it selling for 2.5 mil.

6 acres.
4000 sq. ft.
FIVE photos.
Whoever created that listing needs to be fired ASAP.

That's less than 1M/acre.
Posted on 11/1/21 at 10:37 am to Street Hawk
Ummmmmm.. No. $1.5M? Maybe but $5M...
Posted on 11/1/21 at 10:39 am to Street Hawk
If I did I would tear down that house and start over. What is an acre sell for around there? If I wanted to live around there I would probably pay the market price per acre plus $1 million.

It's weird, how all the pictures make it look like a disaster on the inside (basically a full gut job from what I can tell), yet they tout the fact that "the large kitchen had been updated several years ago with a Chambers electric cooktop and double wall ovens" and not a picture to be seen.

I would assume anyone who buys it isn't buying it for the house. It would either get torn down or do some serious renovations.

Basically listed as a $5 million lot. No way it is worth that much.
