About This Home

Hidden deep within 22 wooded acres along the peaceful banks of the Baby Tchefuncte River, this extraordinary estate feels worlds away from the noise of everyday life. Tucked at the crossroads of St. Tammany and Tangipahoa Parishes, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion--where winding trails, towering trees, and the gentle movement of the river create a setting that feels more like a private nature preserve than a residence.The custom-built home was designed to embrace its surroundings, with expansive wraparound porches that invite you to slow down and take in panoramic woodland views. Sunlight pours through Pella windows, filling the home with warmth and framing the natural beauty that surrounds it. Inside, the heart of the home is a thoughtfully appointed chef's kitchen featuring a Thermador stove, double oven, Hoshizaki ice maker, and dual refrigerators--perfect for gathering after a day spent exploring the land. Modern comforts remain seamlessly integrated throughout, including a tankless water heater, full-size washer and dryer, and a whole-house Generac generator powered by dual propane tanks capable of providing up to two weeks of backup power--offering true peace of mind in this secluded setting.The property itself is where the magic unfolds. An artesian-fed pond with pier, a private sand beach along the riverbank, irrigated raised garden beds, and miles of winding nature trails invite endless exploration. Multiple outbuildings--including a well house, a workshop with three-vehicle parking, a bonus studio, and a storage shed--offer space for hobbies, projects, and creative pursuits.Adding to the turnkey lifestyle, the sale includes a tractor, lawn mower, golf cart (needs batteries), two kayaks with paddles, a hot tub, and bird feeders--everything needed to fully enjoy this peaceful retreat from day one.Recent servicing includes a water pump and switch inspection (May 2025), septic system servicing (2023), and propane tank maintenance (April 2025). The HVAC system features two downstairs condensers replaced in 2022 and an upstairs unit updated during the 2010 renovation, along with an alarm system and active termite contract. Though it feels wonderfully remote--like your own private wilderness sanctuary--this property is conveniently located just 10 minutes from Folsom and 18 minutes from downtown Covington. Whether envisioned as a weekend getaway, a self-sufficient homestead, or a full-time escape from the pace of city life, this riverfront haven offers something increasingly rare: true quiet, true privacy, and the freedom to live surrounded by nature.
