On Wednesday, the expansive Livingston Parish property once owned by actor John Schneider was auctioned off by the sheriff's office.

Schneider's land, including his home, office and sound stages, was seized late last year after he failed to pay his mortgage. Court documents said the 'Dukes of Hazzard' star owed nearly a quarter of a million dollars.

The buyer, a private citizen, bought up the property for $385,000. Schneider’s business partner told WBRZ that “moveable” items like temporary buildings, trailers and editing suites will not be included in the sale since Schneider does not own those buildings, they are being leased.

Schneider told WBRZ earlier this week he hoped the property would be purchased by someone who plans to maintain its independent movie studio.

“I feel this place has value because of what I see in it. If you build it, they will come. I have built it. They are coming,” said Schneider, referring to movie crews.
