Description

Beautifully situated on the Little Bogue Falaya River in a lush park-like setting and behind the Johnsen gate, this raised home and separate guest house sit within an acre of established hardwood trees, including citrus, magnolia and pine, and azalea shrubs. Guest house was a gut renovation in '21, with new mechanicals, roof, appliances, flooring and fixtures. A heated, saltwater pool and spa were added, surrounded with native landscaping, and the surrounding land was cleared of all overgrowth. Main home exterior siding was replaced in '24, along with fresh paint, updated fixtures, new upstairs bathroom, and loads of natural light! Screened porch with new roof is off the great room. Will be shown by appointment only; please allow at least 6 hours notice.

    "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. "
