Property Description

Nestled in Jackson, LA, Hickory Hill, is a remarkable Greek Revival estate dating back to 1804. Built from native hickory, ash, hard pine, and butternut harvested from the surrounding woodlands, this historic home stands as a testament to early American craftsmanship and resilience. Constructed with red bricks on site in wooden molds and assembled using square cut wooden pegs instead of nails, the home showcases extraordinary hand fashioned woodwork throughout. Tiger oak adorns the doors and walls, and the impressive 18 inch thick walls speak to its enduring strength. The stately front facade features four towering white plastered brick columns, rising to a fan lighted pediment. Designed in the Doric order, the two outer columns are square, while the two center columns are round, an architectural detail that enhances its commanding presence. A broad wooden pediment crowns the entire structure, and both the upper and lower galleries are enclosed at each end by brick walls. Inside, each of the eight spacious rooms boasts of its own fireplace with hand carved mantels, reflecting timeless elegance. The home spans three stories, including the attic, and rests atop a fully functional high basement complete with doors and windows for accessibility and ventilation. Beneath the home, pit sawn and hand hewn beams, along with substantial trusses, provide additional structural support, evidence of its meticulous construction. Vernacular domestic architecture on an impressive scale, Hickory Hill, blends historic integrity with lasting durability. The grounds are equally captivating with mature camellias, azaleas, wild olive, crepe myrtles and tung oil trees flourish in natural abundance. Modern comforts include two state of the art Trane a/c and heating units. At the rear of the home, a three room bonus space connected by a covered walkway. Hickory Hill is well suited for a private residence, B/B, hunting lodge, equestrian estate, Airbnb, or farm/ranch property.
