162 Whitetail Drive, Stonewall, LA 71078

Some homes are built to impress. This one was built to be lived in. Hidden behind the gates of Whitetail Private Drive, this home sits in one of the area's most unique communities-just ten custom homes on 1+ acre lots, intentionally set back from the road to create exceptional privacy while remaining just three minutes from Southern Loop.

Every major design decision answered a simple question: How do people actually live? The result is a home that's just as comfortable on an ordinary Tuesday as it is when filled with family and friends. The kitchen was designed around the way people gather.

Two oversized islands let family and guests spread out naturally, while the prep kitchen keeps the conversation going whether you're cooking for two or twenty. Just beyond are generous dining spaces, a temperature-controlled wine cellar holding approximately 400 bottles, and a dedicated theater for movie nights, football games, and celebrations.

Completed in 2016, the attached wing was designed to adapt as life changes. It can serve as a guest apartment, pool house, home office, multigenerational suite, or entertainment space. The air-conditioned showroom is equally suited for a collector car gallery, gym, recreation room, or additional living area, and could easily be reconfigured to better suit a future owner's needs.

Outside, the same philosophy continues. The oversized custom pool features a grotto, waterfall, slide, spa, swim-up bar, and a sunken outdoor kitchen designed so the cook remains part of the conversation instead of separated from it. Thoughtful construction includes spray foam insulation, a 26kW whole-home generator, oversized garages, and two climate-controlled walk-in attics designed for future expansion.

These weren't added to impress a future buyer, they were added because this home was designed for long-term ownership. Unexpected changes have created a rare opportunity to own a home designed around everyday living rather than resale.
