A truly rare offering in the heart of the French Quarter, Maison Debon is an extraordinary private gated compound originally constructed in 1807 and meticulously restored to its present grandeur by the owner of the renowned Antiques de Provence. Located just two blocks from Jackson Square and Brennans, this estate encompasses 10,571 square feet and combines historic significance with remarkable privacy in one of the world’s most storied neighborhoods. The Principal Residence is anchored by a grand ballroom-scale salon with soaring ceilings and European limestone floors, creating an exceptional setting for both formal entertaining and refined everyday living. A sunlit dining room transitions effortlessly into a chef’s kitchen appointed with a La Cornue range, stone countertops, original hardwood floors, and curated finishes that seamlessly marry historic authenticity with modern luxury. The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with a balcony, elegant study, expansive closet and a spa-caliber bath. The Guest Quarters offer four additional bedroom suites with elegant marble baths, gracious living and dining areas and a secondary gourmet kitchen finished in European stone and professional-grade appliances. French doors open onto the lush courtyard, offering ample space for the addition of a private pool. Tucked discreetly within the compound, the Carriage House provides the ultimate private hideaway, featuring two additional bedrooms and baths along with fully independent living quarters. Ideal for extended stays, staff or late evenings of relaxed wine-filled gatherings. Attached, covered, gated parking for 2+ vehicles. Offered fully furnished if desired, Maison Debon presents a rare turnkey opportunity for the global collector seeking privacy, history and architectural significance.
