About this home
Own six gated acres of Bogalusa’s heritage with The Goodyear Estate, one of the city’s oldest and most storied homes. Built in 1933 by Charles W. Goodyear III, who settled from New York. This remarkable estate sits on the site where the first log was harvested by the Great Southern Lumber Company - the very event that gave rise to Bogalusa itself. Rich in craftsmanship and character, the main residence features six wood burning fireplaces, authentic St. Joe brick, and a Great Room built with reclaimed timbers from the historic Godchaux Sugar Building in Raceland. A custom marble bar, salvaged from the Louisiana State Supreme Court Building in New Orleans, serves as a centerpiece of timeless elegance. Additional highlights include an 1,800-bottle wine cellar, resort-style pool with cabana, private gym and spa, and original stables all surrounded by lush, mature grounds teaming with beautiful live Oaks, and a cottage built in the late 1800s. A rare opportunity to own a cornerstone of Bogalusa’s past, the Goodyear Estate stands as a living testament to Southern history, craftsmanship, and grace.
