What this one covers
The property runs over 6,200 square feet on 28 acres, with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, roughly 40 minutes outside the city. The build leans rustic — heavy wood beams and wood accent ceilings, durable finishes throughout — and includes the kind of amenities that only make sense when you have the land for them.
What I'd point out for anyone shopping acreage in this parish: the house is only part of the diligence. Water source and septic, drainage across the whole tract, road access and servitudes, and insurance on outbuildings all matter, and appraisals get harder when there are few comparable sales nearby. I cover what to look at on a property like this.
Key takeaways
- Large acreage within 40 minutes of Baton Rouge is increasingly scarce
- On acreage, inspect the land as carefully as the house
- Water, septic, drainage, access and servitudes are the real diligence items
- Insurance on barns, shops and outbuildings adds up
- Appraisals are harder when comparable sales are scarce

Yes, though large tracts within a reasonable commute are getting scarce. Livingston Parish, St. Amant and the eastern side of Ascension Parish are where I'd look first.

Water source and septic condition, drainage and flood zone across the whole tract, road access and servitudes, insurance on outbuildings, and appraisal risk when nearby comparable sales are limited.
