Most Expensive Home in Louisiana

This Highland Road listing sits on one of Baton Rouge’s historic streets, but its design is anything but traditionally Southern. It was built in a Mediterranean style in 2006 and sits on a similarly grand 12.5 acre parcel of land, surrounded by oak trees. The main home, which is about 25,000 square feet and has five bedrooms, is magnificent, but it’s just one of many residences on the property. There’s also a 4,800-square-foot guest house and a nearly 1,500-square-foot cabana. There are two pools on the grounds, as well as three separate three-car garages. The home last changed hand in 2016, when its current owners purchased it for $6 million, down from the initial asking of $18 million.
