A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. Nestled along the Baby Tchefuncte River at the crossroads of St. Tammany and Tangipahoa Parishes, this rare 22-acre estate offers a lifestyle of privacy, peace, and natural beauty. The custom-built home features wraparound porches, panoramic wooded views, and abundant natural light through Pella windows. Inside, you'll find a chef’s kitchen equipped with a Thermador stove, double oven, Hoshizaki ice maker, and dual refrigerators, along with a full-size washer and dryer, tankless water heater, and a whole-house Generac generator powered by dual propane tanks—providing up to two weeks of backup power. The HVAC system includes two downstairs condensers replaced in 2022 and an upstairs unit updated during a 2010 renovation. Additional features include an alarm system and an active termite contract for peace of mind. The property’s exterior is equally impressive, with an artesian-fed pond and pier, a private sand beach, irrigated raised garden beds, winding nature trails, and multiple outbuildings including a well house, workshop with three-vehicle parking, bonus studio, and shed. Included in the sale are a tractor, lawn mower, golf cart (needs batteries), two kayaks with paddles, hot tub, and bird feeders. Recent services include a water pump and switch inspection (May 2025), septic system servicing (2023), and propane tank maintenance (April 2025). Located just 10 minutes from Folsom and 18 minutes from downtown Covington, this riverfront haven is perfect as a weekend escape or full-time retreat—offering space, soul, and serenity in one unforgettable setting.
