[XDguy]

I cant believe it, did you buy this in the last year? My wife and I were getting ready to pull the trigger on that same piece of property and someone beat us to it!

Yep, that was me. Sorry about that.

Small world huh?

 

[spanky]

Wow.

You can list the land as a "Exclusive Agency Listing" allowing the realtor to list the property and find you a buyer, but also allowing you to market the property yourself through other means such as bs.com and if you find the buyer you don't have to pay the realtor or you only have to pay a smaller prenegotiated commission. I'm a realestate agent in Ascension Parish so if you have any questions feel free to ask. Your agent should be open to this.

Good info gsneff, thanks. Our agent is actually my wife's aunt, so she should be okay with it. At least I would hope so.

My dream of building a house has been put off while I go back to school but I can tell you from lots of searching that 1.6 acres in mandeville is not only hard to find but is usually around $80k and up.

hey I'm semi-interested in this. I'm sending you a PM

 

[SpeedRacer]

Bump...we finally got around to putting this on the market. Current listing is $60K. Price is firm for now, though I'd be a lot more flexible if the interested party happened to be a BS'er.

no its not ok to still shoot there its my hunting club's land

 

[SpeedRacer]

Bump!

Here's the Realtor.com listing: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/Maple-Lane_Mandeville_LA_70448_1112916314

Again, I'll negotiate with BSers. Just don't tell my wife.

Bump to add that construction has BEGUN on the Hwy 1088/I-12 Offramp.

 

[SpeedRacer]

Bump! Still on the market. Interest has increased recently, but as of now it's still available.

Didn't we all! Man...Hwy 1088 sure got scary once you hit around 100mph.

I kinda miss the Saturday night rice patty meetings...

STPSO was actually who told me about it being OK to shoot on 1088. Of course that was 20+ years ago.

I used to shoot out there about 8-10 years ago without any trouble. For a while there was a little Buffer Zone type spot out there with all sorts of fun stuff to shoot (household appliances, etc). Last time I went out there the Sheriff's showed up QUICK, within 5-10 minutes of us shooting the first round. They were cool about it, but asked that we not shoot out there anymore.

 

[SpeedRacer]

Bump, hopefully purchasing a house soon so this lot needs to go! Listing price lowered to $55K, and I'll happily negotiate with Bayou Shooters!

This lot appraised at over $58K when we purchased it, and that was well before the I-12 interchange begun construction. A nice big office park was also recently approved nearby. This area is blowing up! Great place to build, or would make a great investment property. If there's ANY way I could afford to keep it, I absolutely would.

Dam wish I was in a better financial situation, this is a good solid investment for someone who can sit on it for a couple years. Dam economy

I agree, and wish I could afford to keep it myself!
