8196 Wildwood Dr Denham Springs, LA 70706

This one-of-a-kind estate in the Live Oak School District offers the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and natural beauty. Set on 9 acres and accessed by your own private bridge, the property is shaded by majestic, mature Live Oak trees and boasts a serene, park-like setting—just minutes from everyday amenities. Originally built in 1965, the home was completely remodeled in 2014, taken down to the studs on the first floor and rebuilt with modern systems and finishes. Updates include mostly new electrical wiring, new hot and cold water plumbing, three HVAC units, new insulation and drywall throughout the first floor, new flooring, and added structural beams to open up the living space. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully redesigned, along with new plumbing and electrical fixtures, two water heaters, new windows, and new doors—making this essentially a new home with timeless charm. Post-2016 flood, a 27kW liquid-cooled whole-home generator was added. In 2022, the owners built a stunning 1,024 sq ft outdoor kitchen complete with grill, burners, ice maker, sink, and a wood-burning fireplace. The space also features a climate-controlled half bath and a “she shed” with cabinetry, a sink, and room for a full-size fridge. A six-foot gas fire pit, new concrete, and full irrigation for the backyard enhance the experience. A garden area framed in pine timbers and limestone rock adds charm, and a landscape architect’s master plan includes a future pool site—already set with gas service and electrical panels. The private bridge was completely rebuilt from the cross timbers up in 2023 which included all new steel runners, timber deck and steel railings. This rare property offers luxury, comfort, and space to grow—whether you’re entertaining or seeking peaceful retreat. There really is too much to list, you need to see it. House is owned by a licensed Realtor. Seller is willing to buy down buyer's interest rate and/or contribute towards closing cost.
