About this home

Discover a rare opportunity to own 40 breathtaking acres in the heart of Moss Bluff! Covered in gorgeous, mature timber, this secluded property offers exceptional privacy and endless possibilities. Whether you envision building your dream home, creating a private camp or family retreat, or enjoying the land with lots of wildlife for hunting and recreational use, this property provides the perfect setting. A curved driveway winds through the timber before opening into a beautiful homesite. An approximately 80’ x 90’ house pad has already been constructed. The house pad is above base flood elevation, and a LOMA has been applied for. The wooded acreage provides a natural habitat for local wildlife and offers plenty of space to explore and enjoy the outdoors. Properties of this size, beauty, and character are incredibly difficult to find in Southwest Louisiana. Competitively priced and full of potential, this one-of-a-kind property is ready for its next owner. All measurements and information are considered reliable but should be independently verified by the buyer.
