163 acres of high ground, spring-fed creeks, and legacy pines — an hour from New Orleans.
A quarter-section plus three acres — 163± acres of rolling hills and high ground. Two creeks cross the property, including Peaks Creek, a spring-fed live creek that runs year-round. The creek enters at the northeast corner and exits southwest, meaning you control both banks for its entire course through the land.
Approximately 80 acres of 25-year-plus pine plantation, another 20 acres recently replanted, 25 to 30 acres of open pasture broken into parcels, and mature hardwoods lining both creeks.
Explore the Land →Four distinct buildings across the property. The main cottage spans 3,669 square feet of living space — two bedroom suites, three full baths, an office, and a studio with its own bath — all recently renovated with Hardie board exterior and a newer roof. The guest house, currently operating as an Airbnb, offers 3,773 square feet with its own pool.
A renovated two-bedroom studio and a full-bath equipment building adjacent to the outdoor kitchen round out the built environment. Standby generator, three operational wells, four septic systems.
Tour the Structures →The Belvedere is a covered outdoor kitchen wired and plumbed for refrigeration, equipped with a Big Green Egg and propane cooktop. It opens onto a recently redone acre-and-a-half pond with a 60-by-30-foot deck over the water, plus a second deck beside a recessed concrete fire pit.
Five miles of intertwined trails run not just the perimeter but through the pine plantation itself. The guest house pool is twenty by sixty feet with a surrounding concrete patio and covered lounging area.
Step Outside →Turkey, deer, rabbit, and quail — the property is alive with game. Whether it's hunting, fishing the pond, hiking the five-mile trail network, or simply sitting under the pines, Bellagra is a recreational property first and foremost.
Fifteen minutes east of Amite off Louisiana 16. An hour and a half from New Orleans, an hour and a half from Baton Rouge. Far enough to disappear — close enough that you actually will.
163 acres. Two creeks. Four structures. Endless weekends.
