161 Cody Ln, Alexandria, LA 71303

LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION! Although this 2,103 square foot home built in 2000 has a great floorplan that can accommodate either 3, 4 or even 5 bedrooms (home office and formal dinning rooms are adaptable), the real show stopper is the LOCATION. Located in the rarely listed for sale Bonnette Bend Subdivision. With 7.715 serene acres situated at the edge of forest and swamp, the home is completely surrounded by mature trees including large moss draped cypress trees in the swamp to the back of the property and a variety of White Oak, Magnolia, and other native trees surround the property including on a large "hill" that sits in front of the home -- making this home unseen from any neighbors or even the road to the driveway. Enjoy the calmness of sitting among the sights and sounds of only nature and not neighbors. Seeing deer grazing the acreage is a common sight, yet you are only minutes to all the convenience Alexandria has to offer. Additional features that make this home so enjoyable are 2 1/2 baths, a wood burning fireplace, large covered back porch, and a split floor plan. This is a "Power Miser" built home with track record of economical utility costs. The AC is only 2 years old with 3 years of warranty remaining.. Although this property boast much acreage, it remains easy to maintain due to a majority of it being swamp and mature trees and is NOT located in a flood zone. The large 40 X 60 metal shop and smaller detached “she shed” provide ample room for all your storage needs. Water view (pond) in front of the property when exiting the driveway is yet another bonus. Schools nearby include J. B. Nachman, Brame, and Alexandria Senior High. This property is serviced by Rapides Island Water and CLECO power (not city of Alexandria utilities). If you love to explore nature even further, Kisatchie National Forest and many hiking and bicycle trails are just around the bend. If future investment income is in the cards for you, this property would make a one of a kind AirBnB (think of a walkway or deck from the "she shed" into the swamp under a canopy of moss-draped cypress trees and string lights). The limits to the possibilities for this one-of-a-kind property is only bound by your ideas (and budget). This property truly has the potential to pay for itself with the right planning and investment. The Triton boat with Mercury 250 motor would be included in sale of this home if the full asking price is received. Don't hesitate to inquire about details or request a showing at number provided. Homes available in this "neck of the woods" rarely occur.
