Sugar Farms Estate
Sugar Farms Estate
A rare legacy estate on Bayou Paul Road
Welcome to Sugar Farms — a truly one-of-a-kind Louisiana property where history, open space, and endless possibilities come together. Situated just over a mile past the East Baton Rouge Parish line and University Club in St. Gabriel, the estate spans two adjoining listings totaling approximately 14 picturesque acres: a beautifully restored Acadian-style home on 3 acres, and a distinctive red barn — formerly home to Istrouma Brewery — on 11 acres of cleared, level land.
Whether preserved as-is or thoughtfully reimagined, Sugar Farms offers exceptional flexibility for a private family compound, custom estate, hobby farm, event or entertainment venue, office or creative space, or other mixed-use opportunity. The two parcels are offered separately and may be purchased together.
Two parcels, one legacy property
A beautiful Acadian-style home filled with eclectic architectural treasures — antique pine floors, historic shutters and kitchen windows from Huey P. Long’s home, and living room windows from Cipriani’s Italian Restaurant. Expansive front and back porches invite pastoral views and unforgettable sunsets, with an open floor plan perfect for entertaining. Top-rated schools nearby include Great Hearts and MSA East.
A distinctive red barn offering over 6,000 square feet under roof, featuring rustic architecture and reclaimed elements throughout. The 11-acre parcel is 100% cleared with a winding gravel drive, majestic Live Oaks, and expansive parking — well suited to a hobby farm, event or entertainment venue, office or creative space, agricultural use, or residential multi-family development.
