Discover a rare riverfront retreat nestled on 22 wooded acres along the peaceful banks of the Baby Tchefuncte River, near the St. Tammany and Tangipahoa Parish line. Offering exceptional privacy, natural beauty, and room to roam, this custom-built home is surrounded by towering trees, winding nature trails, and serene woodland views. Designed to embrace its natural surroundings, the home features expansive wraparound porches and Pella windows that fill the interior with natural light. The chef’s kitchen includes a Thermador range, double oven, Hoshizaki ice maker, and two refrigerators. Additional features include a tankless water heater, full-size washer and dryer, and a whole-house Generac generator powered by two propane tanks, with estimated backup capacity of up to two weeks. Outdoor amenities include an artesian-fed pond with pier, private sand beach along the riverbank, irrigated raised garden beds, and winding nature trails. Multiple outbuildings provide versatility for work, hobbies, storage, or creative pursuits, including a well house, workshop with three-vehicle parking, bonus studio, and storage shed. The sale also includes a tractor, lawn mower, golf cart (batteries needed), two kayaks with paddles, hot tub, and bird feeders. Recent maintenance includes water pump and switch inspection (May 2025), septic servicing (2023), and propane tank maintenance (April 2025). Two downstairs HVAC condensers were replaced in 2022, and the upstairs unit was updated during the 2010 renovation. An alarm system and active termite contract are also in place. Despite its secluded setting, the property is approximately 10 minutes from Folsom and 18 minutes from downtown Covington. Whether envisioned as a private riverfront getaway, homestead, or full-time residence surrounded by nature, this exceptional property offers acreage, privacy, and a peaceful lifestyle in a truly special setting.
