Morning coffee on the screened porch, the Tangipahoa River drifting by, and nowhere you have to be. This raised river cottage in Magnolia Island comes fully furnished and ready the day you get the keys. Linens, towels, plates, cutlery, the washer and dryer, every appliance, it all stays. Bring your fishing gear and your groceries and start living river life that very first weekend. The 31 foot kitchen is the heart of the place, with butcher block counters, stainless appliances, and plenty of room to cook the day's catch while everyone gathers around. Engineered wood floors and ductless AC keep it easy to care for, and with no carpet anywhere, river mud wipes right up. Two bedrooms and a tiled bath round it out. Outside is where you will spend most of your time. The big wood deck sits right on the water, and the screened porch is the spot for listening to the river as the light fades. Covered parking for three or more on the oversized lot leaves room for the truck, the boat trailer, and company too. The owners have run it on Airbnb and VRBO with bookings every weekend, so it can be your weekend escape, your full time home, or a place that helps pay for itself (buyer to verify rental rules). New well pump & aerator in 2026, refrigerator in 2024, no HOA, and flood insurance currently $701.22 a year. Come sit on the porch for a minute. You will see why the it's is so hard to leave.
