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.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
