This one-of-a-kind property features 5 acres of which most are cleared and lined with beautiful trees and foliage. The new owners will enjoy privacy, beautiful scenery, and serenity in nature without sacrificing convenience. Downtown Covington is less than a 15-minute drive away, and the home is less than a mile from 'Barker's Corner' that offers groceries and other shopping. This charming, ranch-style home features a large living area with classic wood beams and expansive windows that overlook the wooden, back deck and stunning views of the property. It is truly a must see. The home also has 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a wood-burning fireplace, a spacious attached garage, and a long driveway offering privacy from the road and plenty of parking. The property also has a large, separate workshop perfect for storage and outdoor projects. Over the last 8 years, major updates were made including a new tin roof on the home and workshop, a new septic system, updated electrical, a new garage door, and fresh paint throughout. This home is in the highly-desired Lee Rd. school district, has access to high-speed Internet, and in flood zone C (no flood insurance required). So many memories await you here. Imagine camping on your own property, family bonfires, submersing yourself in nature, escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, and the feeling of being in the country without sacrificing easy access to schools, shopping, and restaurants. Please note that this 5-acre parcel is being subdivided from a larger parcel. The draft survey attached to this listing is subject to minor changes upon final approval by the parish. This property has it all! Don't wait and schedule your showing today!
