Kentwood · Louisiana
Kentwood grew up on lumber and then on dairying, and the land around it shows both. We buy planted pine, old pasture and farm tracts near the Mississippi line, directly from owners.
If you own land around Kentwood and want to sell without listing it, we buy directly. Kentwood started as a lumber town near the Mississippi line. Once the timber boom ended, the land turned to dairying, and the town became known as the "Dairy Capital of the South." Far fewer dairies run today. We've bought planted pine east of town, and we know young timber counts for something even when it's years from a first thinning. Harry prices north-end land from north-end sales, not Hammond's, and we handle the title work.
Bought in Kentwood
Young pine like this is a long wait for a timber check, and part of the tract lies in a mapped flood zone. We bought the whole tract as it stood and took on the timber management ourselves, with advice from the LSU AgCenter.

Selling here, specifically
Before you take any offer on Kentwood-area land, find out what timber is on it. A consulting forester's cruise will tell you, and we'll tell you honestly whether your tract is worth paying for one.
A pine plantation five or ten years old won't bring a timber check yet, but someone already paid to plant it and it's been growing ever since. That belongs in the price, and we include it.
Plenty of former dairy farms stayed in the family after the cows were sold, and the title is often a generation or two behind. A Louisiana succession brings it up to date. When we're buying, we cover the succession attorney's cost.
Kentwood is about forty minutes north of Hammond, so fewer commuters shop for land here. That's part of why acreage costs less per acre, and why a listing can sit for a while.
Track record
I just purchased a piece of property from Mr. Harry. He was very professional during the negotiation process and made the closing so easy and quick. I witnessed honesty and integrity first hand!
