Historic NFL Estate on 18.4 Acres – Ponchitolawa Creek
Tucked away on 18.4 sprawling acres along the navigable, deep-water Ponchitolawa Creek—and just 30 minutes from the New Orleans Metropolitan Area—this exceptional property offers a rare combination of Southern elegance, privacy, and storied sports history. More than a residence, it is a living monument to NFL greatness, providing an unparalleled opportunity for devoted Kansas City Chiefs or New Orleans Saints fans, or collectors of rare sports memorabilia, to own a tangible connection to the golden era of professional football.
Now available for the first time, this estate was the longtime personal residence of Hall of Fame Head Coach Hank Stram, the legendary strategist who led the Chiefs to three AFL Championships, two Super Bowl appearances, and the team’s first Super Bowl victory. After his historic tenure in Kansas City, Coach Stram chose this serene New Orleans-area retreat as his sanctuary, carefully crafting a home that reflects both his sophisticated taste and his deep-rooted passion for the game. Every corner of the property tells a story, from the timeless architecture to the meticulously maintained grounds, offering a unique blend of comfort, prestige, and historical significance.
The estate boasts 2,419.80 feet of deep-water frontage on the scenic Ponchitolawa Creek, providing rare access for boating, fishing, and waterfront enjoyment, all while preserving complete privacy. Outdoors, a 20 x 40-foot pool offers the perfect setting for relaxation or entertaining, framed by the natural beauty of this tranquil property. Expansive lawns, mature trees, and the winding creek create a sense of seclusion, making it feel like a world apart from the nearby city.
This property is ideal not only for NFL enthusiasts but for anyone seeking a private, luxurious retreat in a storied location. It represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step into history and experience the lifestyle of one of professional football’s most iconic figures.
