5 Grand Southern Estates, from Pastures to Victorian Grandeur

Set on a wide sweep of south Washington County, this working farm is defined by its carefully maintained land and practical infrastructure. Multiple pastures are well fenced and consistently tended, with annual fertilization over the past three years using sufficient poultry litter to support strong hay production. Two large barns provide generous space for storing hay and machinery, keeping day-to-day operations streamlined. Water features are woven throughout the acreage, with multiple ponds and streams crossing the property and shaping a classic rural landscape. The setting has supported a herd of 150 head of cows and also draws significant wildlife, including deer, bear, and turkey—an everyday reminder of the region’s natural rhythms. With multiple building sites described as gorgeous, the property offers room to imagine a future that fits the land.

Set on over 12 acres of privacy where the Abita and Bogue Falaya Rivers meet, this over 100-year-old summer home has been thoughtfully reimagined as a luxurious year-round residence. Completely redone within the last year, it balances preserved character with modern convenience—antique heart pine floors, wood ceilings, and high ceilings create an inviting sense of scale, while large windows draw in abundant natural light. Along the waterfront, a durable bulkhead and two boat slips make time on the water feel effortless. Days unfold outdoors with a sparkling pool, tennis courts, wraparound porches for morning coffee or sunset views, and timeless peacock pavers underfoot. A metal roof supports low-maintenance living, complemented by a 3-car garage, basement storage, and a dedicated wine cellar. Just 10 minutes from downtown Covington, it offers seclusion without disconnecting from town.

Set on 120 acres along Burkett Flat Road in Greenbrier, this expansive tract is presented as a blank canvas for a wide range of future plans.

For those drawn to land itself, there’s also the option to hold it as a farm or as the foundation for an expansive home property. An approximate 30-acre area of oak is specifically noted, adding a natural dimension to the acreage and the possibilities for how it could be portioned, preserved, or sold separately. However it’s approached, the appeal here is flexibility—room to think long-term, shape a legacy project, or simply let the landscape guide what comes next.

In the kitchen, custom granite-topped hickory cabinetry, an island with an extra sink, and a large pantry set a true cook’s rhythm. The primary suite features walk-in closets and a bath with a bidet. A loft office includes Starlink internet, and the walkout level adds a screened porch, storage, and a FEMA-standard storm shelter—ready for quiet, all-season living outdoors.
