The Southeast Louisiana population migration north of I-12 looks to be on the fast track. I'm not sure we have seen any residential project of this size developed in Louisiana in the last 30 years. 12,000 acre tract of land is enormous.
 


Money Hill has received zoning approval in St. Tammany Parish to add more than 4,400 acres for a lifestyle community.

Money Hill’s ongoing community expansion represents a 50-year plan, according to a news release. Plans comprise a new 18-hole ‘core-golf’ course with restaurants and lodging, pickleball courts, a centralized village with shops, restaurants, a grocery store, offices and community park, community clubhouse amenities, sport fields, expanded lakes, a nature outfitter center and connected walking trails. In addition, it will have over 1,700 acres of undeveloped open space, long leaf pine and an oak grove preserve.

New homesites for custom home building are presently available, with single-family neighborhoods, estate and equestrian lots, traditional cottage neighborhoods, and senior-living facilities planned for the future.

“This represents an exciting new chapter for the future of Money Hill and St. Tammany Parish,” Mimi Dossett, president of Money Hill, said in a news release. “The opportunity to think and plan long range for parks, greenspaces, lakes and other amenities, and the ability to create new lots in other areas of the property, opens new possibilities for us as we try to grow as necessary to build out a sustainable community while staying true to our ideals of natural beauty and conservation.”

Money Hill has partnered with North Carolina-based KoontzJones Design, a land planning and landscape architecture firm on the development and community design plan.

We’ll see how this goes with interest rates being where they are. Hopefully for their sake the housing market will improve.

What was the last golf course to be built in LA? They are money losers in general, even busy courses lose money

I used to hunt at Money Hill before any of the developement was even under consideration. They have some awesome bass fishing as well. The Goodyear family made some serious money selling that incredible piece of land.

Money Hill is pretty cool as long as you’re fine with never leaving money hill.

You can’t just say frick it, it’s been a long day let’s just pick up some pizza and cook tomorrow. Pizza is an hour away roundtrip. Same with groceries.

Are golf courses a good investment right now? I watched something awhile back about how golf courses around the country have been trying to look for more ways to generate money.. Like having frisbee golf, etc

Seems all across the country, especially the last 5 years or so we’ve become highly pissed off at trees and forests. In Louisiana we are losing population yet every moderate to major town/city has showed rapid growth and generic subdivisions being built nonstop. Where the frick all the people coming from? There really isn’t major cities people are moving out of, I mean New Orleans and BR ain’t that damn big

I can remember back in the day when Money Hill was nothing but tung oil trees then, later, had a nice campground. Man, how times have changed!

Well shite, there goes my chance at waiting on the lot prices to drop. One of the main reasons I liked it was due to the small, but big land development. Hopefully, they don’t make it this huge overcrowded home neighborhood. Reminds me a lot of how the north Atlanta metro built their communities

Looks like a nice project.

I hope they widen 21 because There’s a bad bottleneck at the beginning of 21 entering Covington.
Once they build this, I’d think it’ll get much worse.

The best way to keep this area nice is to keep it secret.
If the people you don’t want in do not know about it that makes the area a lot better.
