Description

Welcome to Sunset Oaks Ranch! A beautifully maintained 5-acre property offering the perfect blend of privacy, charm, and function. This gorgeous retreat loaded with century year old live oaks features a pond, pool, barn, wraparound porch, back deck, and full fencing. All nestled across from a serene pine grove and beside a protected vacant lot that will never be built on. Located toward the end of a quiet street, this is one of the most private settings in the area. The 5-bedroom, 3-bath home has been thoughtfully renovated and designed to capture views from every angle. The brick-front entry and covered porches open to a spacious, light-filled interior. The kitchen is a true centerpiece with a massive granite island, cabinetry on both sides, SubZero refrigerator, double oven/range, under-counter ice maker, coffee nook, and built-in desk. The main-floor primary suite boasts floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the back acreage, offering breathtaking daytime views and stunning nighttime lightning shows. Two additional bedrooms on the main level share a full bath, while the large laundry room also faces the rear property. Upstairs, added in 2004, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms with dormer windows, a shared full bath with double sinks, and a spacious game/media room with built-ins-perfect for movies, gaming, or relaxing. A cedar-lined, climate-controlled walk-in closet plus ample floored attic space provide excellent storage. For horse lovers, the property features a two-stall barn with feed room, hay room, hayloft, and a covered two-bay lean-to for tractors or equipment. The horse area is hot-wired and secured with classic four-board fencing. Enjoy country living at its best! Relax by the pool, host gatherings on the porches, or ride horses with neighbors in the friendly Hilltop Farms community, where bonfires and shared traditions make you feel like family

    "Don’t trust the judicial system. St.Tammany parish is all about that money honey! Property taxes are ridiculously outrageous! It seems after hurricane Katrina, a lot changed. New people, new attitudes, new accents, and covington grew into a concrete jungle. I live in the north rural part of Covington. It was a quiet town, but it seemed as if everyone knew on another or a family member etc. Parents: the schools are ridiculous now. They do not teach cursive writing in school anymore... I suggest homeschooling your children or sending them to a private school. "
