PROPERTY: Nestled on a sprawling 46.44 acres of Louisiana countryside near Franklinton, this prime property offers a blend of seclusion - located off the beaten path of Thomas Cryer Road - and accessibility, with its long, graded driveway branching from Leora Williams Road, which stretches through the forest before revealing these peaceful wooded plains, making it ideal for residential subdivision, massive personal estate, or recreational use. The land features easily buildable terrain, minimal floodplain, and best of all, no restrictions, alongside utilities like power. Meanwhile, the partially cleared woods and abundant wildlife ensures a tranquil, natural setting. It's been very recently surveyed to partition the property into four large residential ranchettes if you choose to use that configuration as the master plan for a low-density, residential subdivision. Bogue Chitto State Park, just about 20 minutes away, offers an idyllic retreat for nature enthusiasts, boasting a picturesque river perfect for kayaking and fishing, alongside well-maintained hiking trails. Just a little farther away, the vibrant waters of Holmes Water Park present a refreshing escape, with its inviting pools and water slides set against a backdrop of lush greenery. The nearest town of Franklinton features major grocery outlets like Winn-Dixie and Jack Brown's Food Store, and ensures area residents are never far from daily necessities. If Walmart is calling out to you, head to Amite City just over a half hour away. Priced FAR below market with cheap taxes and no Hoa, this tract perfectly encapsulates an exceptional opportunity for investment or creating your dream home amidst the natural wonder of the Louisiana woods.

For Sale by Owner: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you're welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.

Why Are You Selling It So Cheap? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that's our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly...and more of it. In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).

Disclaimer: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyers responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable usage for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
