Welcome to one of the most sought-after stretches of Old Military Road, where rolling pastures, grazing cattle, and vineyard views set the tone for a peaceful Northshore lifestyle. Tucked away on 1.51 private acres and set back from the road, this custom-built retreat offers quiet country elegance just minutes from Downtown Covington.
Located across from Wild Bush Farms & Vineyard, you’ll enjoy front-row views of sunsets over open farmland, a setting that feels worlds away from the everyday rush.
Inside, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and warm wood flooring create an inviting and refined atmosphere. The thoughtfully designed single-story floor plan offers both privacy and functionality, with a spacious primary suite featuring a spa-inspired bath, soaking tub, custom shower, and generous walk-in closet. A separate bedroom wing provides comfort for family or guests, while a dedicated study/bonus space offers flexibility for working from home or hobbies.
The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, breakfast area, and keeping room which is ideal for gathering and everyday living. Designed for entertaining, the open layout flows seamlessly to the covered back porch overlooking the pool and serene backyard.
Outdoors, you’ll find peaceful acreage, manicured grounds, and a private pool area perfect for relaxing or hosting under the stars. A large carport and attached workshop add convenience and versatility rarely found in homes this close to Covington.
With a newer roof, no flood zone designation, no mosquitos issues, and the quiet charm of country living without sacrificing accessibility, this property offers a rare opportunity to own on Old Military Road.
If you’ve been searching for privacy, space, and Northshore charm in a truly special setting this is the one.
Schedule your private showing today and experience the beauty of Old Military Road living.
