St. Tammany Parish · Louisiana
St. Tammany is home. We're based in Mandeville and buy land across the parish, from homesite lots near Covington and Madisonville to wooded acreage around Bush, Folsom and Pearl River. We buy directly from owners: no listing, no commission, title work handled.
If you own land in St. Tammany Parish and want to sell it without listing, we buy directly. Driftless Land Co. is based in Mandeville, with Harry Asnien as principal, so the parcels we look at here are close to home. You get an offer built from recorded St. Tammany sales near your land, an honest read on what the flood map, wetlands and utilities mean for it, the title work handled for you, and cash at closing. With clean title, most closings take one to three weeks. No fees, no commission, no pressure to decide quickly.
Bought in St. Tammany Parish
The owners, a brother and sister, called us directly. After one phone call and some research on the parcel — flood zone, wetlands, and title — we agreed on a fair price together. Both signed, and the closing went smoothly, with no hiccups.
Details are kept general on purpose — we don’t publish sellers’ names, parcel numbers, or prices. Ask and we’ll walk you through what’s comparable to yours.
What moves the price
What we look at on every parcel in the parish before we make an offer. Sources for any figures are listed below.
Price ranges: Redfin sold-land records for St. Tammany Parish, vacant parcels of one acre or more sold October 2024 – October 2026, middle half (25th–75th percentile) of sales, pulled October 30, 2026. These numbers come from publicly available sales data. Off-market transactions often trade at different price ranges. Other rows: Driftless Land Co. parcel evaluations in the parish, FEMA flood maps, and the St. Tammany Parish Code. Last updated October 2026.
Selling here, specifically
Much of the parish's south and east sits in FEMA flood zones near Lake Pontchartrain, the Pearl River and the bayous. Parish rules limit and require mitigation for fill in A and V zones and in parish-designated critical drainage areas, and building in the 100-year floodplain needs the Parish Engineer's approval. We pull the flood map on every parcel and price it for what can actually be built there.
The Tchefuncte, Bogue Falaya, Bogue Chitto and West Pearl are designated Louisiana Natural and Scenic Rivers. Along them, commercial clear-cutting within 100 feet of the low-water mark is prohibited. If you were counting on selling timber off river frontage, that changes the math, and we'll show you how.
Outside the towns, sewer and water come from the parish's Tammany Utilities system, from a private utility, or from a well and an individual treatment system on the lot. A parcel that can tie in is worth more to a builder, and we check which applies before we make an offer.
A lot of St. Tammany land is owned in shares by siblings or cousins, or is still titled to a parent who has died. Every owner has to sign, and Louisiana succession (not "probate") may have to catch the title up first. We've bought co-owned land here and can walk your family through the order of steps.
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!
