Situated on 41.02 beautiful acres in the Plains area, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home offers a peaceful country setting with open acreage, mature trees, and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, while still within easy reach of Zachary, St. Francisville, Baton Rouge, and East Feliciana Parish. Inside, stained concrete floors extend throughout the first floor, where impressive brickwork and warm wood accents give the home distinctive character. The living room features beamed ceilings, a stately double-sided brick fireplace, and an impressive brick archway opening to the kitchen. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, a large island with seating, stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry, with a convenient computer nook nearby. The split bedroom design places the primary suite separately from the other two bedrooms. The spacious primary bedroom opens to an oversized ensuite with dual vanities, a large soaking tub, custom walk-in tile shower, and two huge walk-in closets. A large laundry room and mud bench with built-in storage are located near the carport entrance. Upstairs, the massive bonus room provides flexible space for a second living area, game room, hobbies, or home office, along with walk-in attic access offering plenty of storage. Outside, the covered back porch provides exceptional outdoor living and gathering space with the opposite side of the double-sided brick fireplace, ceiling fans, and wide-open views across the surrounding acreage. Take in beautiful sunsets, watch the wildlife, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The half bath can also be accessed directly from the back porch. Established blueberry bushes offer a seasonal treat and add another special feature to the property. With a combination of open land, wooded areas, and just over 41 acres surrounding the home, this property offers a hard-to-find opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, and country living in the Plains area.
Port Hudson, located between Zachary and St. Francisville, is a rural and historic Zachary neighborhood with Mississippi River bluffs and Civil War-era landmarks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Port Hudson State Historic Site entrance on LA-965, where trailheads, interpretive grounds, and river-view pull-offs set a quiet, outdoors-forward rhythm. The Port Hudson State Historic Site and its museum anchors local identity alongside the Port Hudson National Cemetery. Homes and small properties sit along wooded lanes and open fields, with long setbacks and a landscape-first feel. Weekends center on hiking loops, bird calls, and river light, with Baton Rouge commutes via US-61.
