Mandeville · Louisiana
Sell your land in Mandeville.
Mandeville is where we live and work. We buy lots and acreage around town, from the older streets near the lake to the wooded land north of I-12, straight from the owner, with no listing and no commission.
If you own land in Mandeville and want to sell it without listing, you're talking to the buyer who lives here. Driftless Land Co. is based in Mandeville, with Harry Asnien as principal. We can meet you at the property, pull the recorded sales closest to it, and tell you plainly what the lake, the flood map and the city's rules mean for its value. If the numbers work for you, we handle the title work and pay cash at closing.
What moves the price
What drives land value in Mandeville.
What we look at on every parcel around Mandeville before we make an offer. Sources for any figures are listed below.
- Homesites, 1–5 acres
- The parish's middle half of public sales was $20,400–$65,300 an acre, and sales around Mandeville ran at the high end of the parish
- Larger tracts, 5–20 acres
- $13,400–$23,600 an acre parish-wide; the premium for a Mandeville location narrows on bigger tracts
- City or parish
- Inside the city: the Comprehensive Land Use Regulations Ordinance (CLURO). Outside it: the parish UDC, which covers much of the acreage with a Mandeville address, especially north of I-12.
- Near the lake
- Lakefront and bayou-side parcels sit in high-risk flood zones with elevation requirements that change what a builder can put there
- Typical time to close
- One to three weeks once title is clear
The per-acre ranges are parish-wide: Redfin sold-land records for St. Tammany Parish, one acre and up, sold between October 2024 and October 2026, middle half of sales, pulled October 30, 2026; the Mandeville comparison comes from the same pull. These numbers come from publicly available sales data. Off-market transactions often trade at different price ranges. City rules: City of Mandeville CLURO and the CLURO Revision Project page; La. R.S. 56:1847. Draft, October 2026.
Selling here, specifically
What’s different about a Mandeville sale.
A Mandeville address isn't the city
The city itself is compact and mostly south of I-12. Wooded tracts off LA-59, LA-1088 and the roads north of the interstate usually carry a Mandeville address but sit in unincorporated parish, under parish zoning. We sort that out first, because it decides everything after.
The city's rules are changing
Mandeville adopted its CLURO in 2015 and is now rewriting it, alongside its Mandeville Thrives 2045 land use plan. If you're selling a lot inside the city, we read the version in force on the day we make the offer and tell you if a pending change could matter.
Trees on the lot
Big live oaks are part of why people want to live here, and the city regulates removing them. A lot whose buildable area is crowded by protected trees is priced for that, not passed over.
Selling close to home
Because we live here, there's no out-of-town buyer flying in and no long-distance back-and-forth. Harry can look at the property and talk it through with you in person, whether or not you decide to sell to us.
Track record
The same buyer, town after town.
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!
