0 Turnpike Rd Folsom, LA 70446

This exceptional 240-acre tract, located just 4.5 miles southwest of Folsom in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, presents a rare and strategic opportunity for residential development in one of the Northshore’s most desirable and steadily growing regions. Entirely wooded and offering a serene, natural landscape, the property provides a blank slate for developers looking to create a large-lot, rural residential community with long-term value and appeal. Positioned at the northeast corner of Turnpike Road and Heart of the Forest Boulevard, the site offers 0.7 miles of direct access from Turnpike Road and sits in close proximity to established and emerging residential developments. Its location places it just 14 miles from Hammond and 12.5 miles from Covington—two rapidly expanding economic centers that offer essential services, major retail, dining, healthcare, and educational institutions. The property’s accessibility and strategic placement between these two markets make it highly attractive for families, commuters, and retirees seeking rural living without sacrificing convenience. Zoned for rural use and offering significant flexibility, this tract is ideally suited for phased development of multiple rural homesites, large estate lots, or a low-density residential subdivision designed to meet the increasing demand for spacious living options outside city centers. With utilities and infrastructure nearby and ongoing residential growth in the surrounding areas, this parcel offers a low barrier to entry for development firms aiming to capitalize on the shifting preferences toward nature-rich, low-density communities. Whether as a master-planned residential community or a series of high-value custom home sites, this property is a prime investment opportunity for developers focused on sustainable growth and long-term community building in Southeast Louisiana.
