beautiful things.”

PROPERTY INFORMATION




BOCAGE ANTEBELLUM HOME AUCTION

Oct 26th @ 11AM

Due to Hurricane Ida, we have decided to move the auction date from Sept 14th to
Oct 5th.  Bocage had very little damage done to the property, 1 window broken, a
few trees down, but all-in-all Bocage has stood tall in Katrina, Gustav and now
Ida.


DARROW, LA

Historical Plantation Home on 8± Acres

Greek Revival style home built in 1837 and added to the National Register of
Historic Places in 1991. Bocage sits on 8± acres on the famous River Road
between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

Considered the best and most original interpretation of American Greek Revival
architecture in the nation, Bocage is a historic treasure not to be missed.
Steeped in history with ties to Christopher Columbus and the early colonization
of America, the magnificent mansion was designed by famous architect James Dakin
and built in 1837. (The original 1801 Creole cottage on the site burned.)

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Bocage is well documented in
many books and it has been used as a Hollywood movie set. It has long been
considered one of the jewels of the River Road properties between New Orleans
and Baton Rouge.

Dr. Marion Rundell, a native of Louisiana and a well-respected pathologist has
returned the mansion to its original splendor. “The house has never been open
for public tours,” he said. “When I purchased Bocage in 2008 my goal was to open
it for the public to enjoy. It is a unique property that maintains an important
role in the history of the great plantation houses of the United States.”

No expense has been spared to furnish the mansion in fine antiques and
accessories, from the great furniture makers such as Mallard, Belter, Roux, Lee,
Meeks and others, to grand Baccarat and Waterford chandeliers. “We have
paintings by famous artists such as Rembrandt Peale and Thomas Sully, and even a
fine clock signed by Tiffany. We are also proud of our fine collection of Old
Paris porcelain vases,” Dr. Rundell explained.  The personal property will be
available for purchase.

The second-level grand rooms overlook the levee that fronts the Mississippi
River. Handsome double parlors open onto the front gallery that provides a
panoramic view of the 8-acre.

 * 25 miles southeast of Baton Rouge
