re: Would you buy this 6-acre property for $5M just outside the South Gates of LSU on Highland

I’ll bet you $100 that there is a historical block and numerous red tape on doing any significant demolition to this house.
So, what does land cost an acre in that location?

Buy it and put 6 random posters in the house for each LSU game. Film if real world style.
Profit.
Give me 1% royalties for the idea

You can buy lots in College Town selling between $200K and $250K. Much better location and a real neighborhood.
And NO Highland Road traffic woes.

Going by the pictures, that doesn't look like a 4000 sq ft house.
$5 mil seems a touch steep.

Probably wont allow you to tear the house down since it is “historic”
Doesn't mean you can't light a candle and 'forget it' at night.
That thing will burn down faster than a Christmas tree in July.

For anything not in the mountains or on the coast, it's too expensive.

Yep. That's some lazy Realtor work.
But they do have this.

That house is a teardown, and the lot and trees have been neglected for decades. It's worth 1.5M. It will sit there and rot before they get 5M for it.
And the house next door linked above was a spec house done in poor taste that nobody wants; and I mean nobody. The lesson there is to not build a 2M ugly spec houses with flaming water fountains like you are on the pack porch at Pat O's in Baton Rouge.

Bunch of uncultured cretins here who think a house that has been standing since around the time Louisiana became a state should be a "teardown" and likely replaced with some gaudy mcmansion.

It's worth it. If they put a 3 million dollar asking price the comments here would be the same.

Property sold in Nov 2019 for $64,247 according to tax records. Must have been a family sale.
For those saying they won't get close to $5 mill. You guys don't know the value of 6 acres on Highland Road. Comparing prices in subdivisions to that lot is laughable. They will probably sit on this place until a real life OT baller rolls in and snatches it up to build an estate to use during home games. That piece of land can bring that easy.
There is a listing in Southdowns on a smaller lot for $8 mill and another one on a half acre for $1.3 mill. Land is expensive as shite over there. I know of a house that sold off Whitehaven for $730k on 0.3 acre lot and they tore the house down to build.

There’s a developer that has been buying up property on that part of highland and building cookie cutter rent houses. I don’t think they have demolished any existing houses so far but that’s probably why some folks are saying a developer might tear it down.
There are several developments along Highland road were similar plots of land were subdivided, the houses are custom, and start at $800K. David May developed 3.5 acres right off Highland road, subdivided into 12 lots, all were priced over $200K. The deed restrictions will require urging at least $750K the house with, probably more at today’s material prices, I think he has 3 lots left..

Two very nice lots on LSU Avenue have sold this year for under $250K.
The Duplantier lot will be closer to 4 acres if split up for a small number of homes, say six to eight. Considering a street(s) and sidewalks and working around the oak trees, not as much developable ground as you might assume. Traffic is a nightmare on Highland between LSU Ave and Lee and that will be a factor for any developer. Another poster made note of the house that has been for sale next door for years. Location is not always the win-win people think.
