Completely redone within the last year, this property is a true retreat, offering unmatched character and an array of exceptional features.

Nestled on over 12 acres of ultimate privacy, this home is uniquely positioned where the Abita and Bogue Falaya Rivers meet. A durable bulkhead lines the waterfront, complete with two boat slips for effortless access to serene waterways. The lush grounds include a sparkling pool and tennis courts, creating a resort-like atmosphere perfect for relaxation and recreation.

The home itself exudes warmth and character, showcasing antique heart pine floors, wood ceilings, and high ceilings that enhance the open and inviting feel. Natural light pours through large windows, illuminating the carefully crafted interiors. The wraparound porches provide a perfect spot to take in the breathtaking surroundings, whether sipping your morning coffee or enjoying sunset views.

Peacock pavers add timeless elegance to the outdoor spaces, while the metal roof ensures durability and low maintenance. A 3-car garage provides ample space for vehicles and storage, while the basement offers additional storage solutions. The wine cellar is another stand out feature for the enthusiast.

Conveniently located just 10 minutes from downtown Covington, this home offers both seclusion and accessibility. Whether entertaining guests in the expansive outdoor areas, boating along the rivers, or unwinding in the serene natural setting, this property truly has it all. With every detail thoughtfully updated and its rich history preserved, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Louisiana’s heritage, reimagined for modern living.

    "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. "
