Hwy 62, near Angie
57 acres of pine timber
One owner, one big tract. We bought the whole property directly in 2024 and took on the work of splitting it into smaller parcels ourselves — the seller didn't have to.

Bought in Washington Parish
Eight closings here — the kind of parcels we mean.
Rural parish road
5 acres with a creek along one side
No electric on site and a rural road — the kind of parcel some buyers pass on. We made an offer anyway and closed about two weeks later.
South of Franklinton
5 acres, level ground
Front acre and a half dry, back section wet. We told the owner exactly that, priced it honestly for what it was, and closed about a month after the offer.

The numbers
What land sells for in Washington Parish.
From our own closings, parcels we’ve evaluated, and recorded parish sales — updated as the market moves, not copied from a national site.
- $/acre, smaller parcels (5–15 ac)
- $6,400–$7,500 across our seven 2025–26 parish sales
- $/acre, larger tracts (40+ ac)
- Meaningfully lower per acre — timber, frontage, and access decide it
- What moves the price
- Road frontage, standing timber vs. cut-over, flood zone, and clean title
- Typical time to close
- Three to five weeks on most of our clean-title purchases; longer when succession is open
- Land types we see most
- Pine timber, rural homesites, pasture, hunting tracts
- Flood / wetland notes
- We pull the FEMA panel on every parcel — the Pearl River and Bogue Chitto corridors are where flood zones actually bite
- Demand right now
- Steady — buyers took seven of our parish parcels across 2025–26, mostly 5–15 acres

Selling here, specifically
What’s different about a Washington Parish sale.
Succession property
Plenty of parish land is still titled to a parent or grandparent. Louisiana succession — not "probate" — has to catch the title up before a sale; when we're the buyer, a Louisiana succession attorney runs it at no cost to you.
Timber before you sell
Standing timber can be worth selling separately, or it can be the reason a buyer wants the tract. We'll tell you which applies to yours — and whether a timber cruise is worth doing before you take any offer.
Access & utilities
A lot of parish tracts sit off gravel or parish roads with no electric on site. We've bought them anyway — utility reach affects the price, not whether we'll make an offer.
Back taxes & adjudicated land
Behind on parish taxes, or the parcel's been adjudicated? Usually still sellable — taxes typically clear from the proceeds at closing, so you don't have to come out of pocket first.
Track record
The same buyer, parish after parish.
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!
