8797 Ritchie Ln, Saint Francisville, LA 70775

This property truly has it all! Located at the end of a quiet, private road, 8797 Ritchie Lane features a large custom-built home and 43.36 +/- acres of prime West Feliciana land. This property’s recreational opportunities are endless, including nearly a half-mile of frontage on Little Bayou Sara with its beautiful sandy creek banks, a fishing pond stocked with bass and brim, surrounded by cypress trees and featuring a covered pier, and an in-ground swimming pool with a water slide. Food plots and deer stands are already in place, and the creek provides great habitat for turkeys and other wild game. The house features a large amount of outdoor living space for year-round use, including a screened-in porch, an open patio area, and a covered patio with a brick fireplace and curtains that can be pulled closed in the winter to keep the patio area warm. This property is ready to accommodate animals and livestock in the existing pens and pastures--there is even a custom built house for the chickens! No expense was spared on the 2016 home built by M.R. Custom Builders. The home features over 60 antique wooden beams throughout, custom cypress cabinetry, doors and millwork, and heart-pine flooring. A mudroom keeps the rest of the house clean from your outdoor activities. The main bedroom’s large walk-in closet includes a gun safe that stays with the house. Keep warm with a large brick fireplace in the great room. A separate office space is also included. The house features copper gutters and awnings, and Jeld-Wen double hung and insulated windows. The full-house, 60 kw, 800-gallon diesel generator will keep you up and running during extended power outages. In addition to the house, the property also includes a 2,400 square foot insulated, heated and cooled shop, with an extra 2,070 square feet of lean-to coverage, and a 1,536 square foot equipment barn for all your toys and outdoor equipment. All of this country living located just minutes from the town of St. Francisville.
