Set back from the road on 5 picturesque acres, the home welcomes you with a deep front porch made for rocking chairs, morning coffee, and sunrise views under centuries-old branches. Step inside and the warmth of the remodeled farmhouse style unfolds. Wood floors, natural light, and an open layout blend the living, dining, kitchen, and foyer into a connected space that feels easy and relaxed. The heart of the home is the updated kitchen featuring a large island with a farmhouse sink, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and custom details that bring modern comfort to rustic charm. Just off the main area, the sunroom spans the back of the home and frames peaceful views of the yard, paddocks, and towering oaks. It's the perfect spot for morning quiet or evening wind-downs. The main level includes three bedrooms and two full baths, including the primary suite. Upstairs, the 2018 remodel continues with two additional bedrooms, a bath, a playroom, and a cozy library. Some finishing trim work remains which is ideal for a buyer who appreciates charm and potential. Outside, the setting is what truly steals the show. The front oaks arch frame the yard with postcard beauty, while the back of the property is fenced and ready for horses or hobby farm living. Whether it's watching animals graze, setting up a swing, or enjoying the quiet breeze under the trees, the land invites you to slow down and stay awhile. This property blends the best of both worlds, a country atmosphere in one of St. Tammany's most desirable rural corridors, with downtown Covington just minutes away for dining, shopping, and conveniences. If you're seeking land, character, and lifestyle 79071 Old Military Road is the place where your story can begin. Ready to start your story here?
