Morning coffee on the screened porch, the Tangipahoa River drifting by, and nowhere you have to be.
This raised cottage in Magnolia Island comes fully furnished, with all appliances included, so you can bring your fishing gear and start enjoying river life on the waterfront deck on day one. The 31 foot kitchen gives you room to cook the day's catch and gather around, while the butcher block countertops, stainless appliances, engineered wood floors, and ductless AC keep things easy. Linens, towels, plates, cutlery, and more essentials included!
When the day winds down, two bedrooms and a tiled bath are waiting, and the washer and dryer mean no hauling damp towels home. Evenings belong outside, stretched out on the big deck or listening to the river from the screened porch as the light fades. Covered parking for three or more on the oversized lot leaves room for the truck, the boat trailer, and a friend's car too. Well maintained and ready to go, it can be your weekend escape, your full time home, or a possible Airbnb or short term rental (buyer to verify rental rules). Flood insurance currently runs aight around $800 a year, there's no HOA! Come see the river for yourself.
Owner's have had the home on Airbnb and VRBO with bookings every weekend. New well pump 2026 & refrigerator in 2024.
