1217 Ridgewood Cir, Minden, LA 71055
What's special
A truly remarkable estate where timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and European-inspired elegance come together in a setting unlike any other. From the moment you enter the gated property and follow the winding drive, the attention to detail is evident. Inside, soaring ceilings, rich woodwork, intricate millwork, and expansive living spaces create an impressive yet inviting atmosphere. Antique chandeliers imported from France are showcased throughout the home, including select fixtures with Baccarat crystals, while beautiful Italian paintings and artistic details add to the home’s distinctive character. Custom Habersham cabinetry provides furniture quality craftsmanship and further elevates the interiors. The dramatic great room features exposed wood beams, abundant natural light, and a cast stone fireplace, creating a stunning space for both everyday living and entertaining. Outdoors, the property is equally captivating with manicured grounds, formal landscaping, brick pathways, and multiple areas designed to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The remote controlled screens on the screened in porch provides protection from the elements while overlooking the beautiful pool tucked privately toward the rear of the property, creating an exceptional space for entertaining or relaxing. Beyond the pool, a paved walkway winds through the property and leads to Cooley Creek, offering a rare connection to the natural beauty surrounding the estate. From its gated entrance and grand architecture to its imported finishes, custom details, pool, and creek access, this extraordinary property offers a level of character and craftsmanship that must be experienced in person. Nothing was missed on this one, not even the garage that is heated and cooled. Extravagant dual bricked and wrought iron gated entrances are connected by a circular driveway. The home features a whole home generator that will run the entire property, including the pool.
