Rare find in Central! This truly one-of-a-kind property offers a beautiful 4-bedroom home situated on over 6 unrestricted acres in the highly sought-after Central Community School District, conveniently located in the Central Thruway and just 20 minutes from Baton Rouge. Known as the iconic Beck Barn, this gated estate on Droze Avenue is a dream come true for horse lovers OR those seeking space, privacy, and versatility. In addition to the home, the stunning red barn and attached pavilion total nearly 6,000 sq ft, making it ideal for horses, events, weddings, receptions, or endless creative possibilities. The barn currently features 4 horse stalls with the ability to convert to 6 stalls, plus a bedroom and full bathroom (not included in the home’s living area) - perfect for a guest suite, apartment, or mother-in-law quarters. The main home is absolutely charming with two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs, a new roof (2024), and beautiful views of the surrounding property. The land is fully fenced and includes a small pond stocked with over 20 goldfish, breathtaking sunrises, and plenty of room for horses, RVs, boats, campers, tractors, or toys of any kind. No HOA and no flood insurance required. Adding to the equestrian lifestyle, the subdivision features a BREC horse park with many amenities, only a couple of minutes away. This is a true unicorn property—rural, gated, unrestricted, and loaded with potential. The home is being sold with an Old Republic Home Warranty for added peace of mind for the new buyer! DREAM BIG! Bring your horses. Schedule your private showing today.
