Tucked behind a brick and iron gated entrance framed by glowing copper gas lanterns, a picturesque drive winds beneath mature crape myrtles and oak trees before unveiling one of Highland Road s most distinctive estate settings. Spanning approximately 2.5 private acres, this remarkable property offers a rare combination of privacy, flexibility, and scale in one of Baton Rouge s most sought-after locations. This is not a property you understand from the street. It reveals itself gradually through mature trees, sweeping lawns, separate structures, and the feeling of being tucked into your own private world while remaining minutes from the heart of the city. The estate consists of two subdivided addresses, 332 and 336 Fulwar Skipwith, being offered together as one exceptional property, creating a level of flexibility rarely found in Baton Rouge. The main residence was designed for gathering, entertaining, and everyday living on a grand scale, with expansive living areas, private retreats, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections. Entertain in one space, work in another, and host guests with privacy while maintaining room for multiple generations to live comfortably. Adding another dimension is the impressive barn and guest residence. The ground level features a substantial workshop with space for hobbies, storage, collections, equipment, or a home-based business. Above, a two-bedroom, one-bath guest house with a spacious living room and full kitchen provides ideal accommodations for visitors, extended family, private quarters, a studio, or income-producing potential. More than a home on acreage, this is a private compound offering privacy, utility, beauty, and the flexibility to evolve alongside your lifestyle. Properties of this scale and character along Highland Road are increasingly to find, especially with detached living quarters, a substantial workshop, and two separately addressed parcels offered together. Some homes offer rooms. This one offers possibilities.
