Historic Lonsdale Mansion — A Legacy Property in the Garden District - The iconic Lonsdale Mansion presents a rare chance to acquire one of New Orleans’ most storied estates. Originally built in the 1850s, this Italianate masterpiece has been owned by literary icon Anne Rice and Academy Award-winner Nicolas Cage—an unmatched pedigree in one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods. Now in pre-renovation condition, the home has been selectively demoed to expose its original brickwork and historic bones. Much of the architectural detail has been carefully preserved, setting the stage for a thoughtful restoration and offering a head start to the next visionary owner. With its stately presence, mature landscaping, and phenomenal location, Lonsdale stands ready for its next chapter. A true landmark in one of the city’s most coveted neighborhoods.
