A few weeks ago, I met with an owner to walk his property along the Calcasieu River. Our specific destination? The River.

I had "googled" a map of the 17 acres earlier and could see from the satelitte view that it offered a unique perspective of the river. Like others, I had driven by it along Theriot road for years, imagining the tree-protected view.

My enthusiasm to personally witness nature at its best was unaffected by the fact that it was very cold and I knew our trek to the river's edge would be through some extremely dense sections.

Within an hour or so, we found ourselves mid-way along the westernmost 1/2 of the river's edge. The owner's effort with his machette was well rewarded. The beautiful vista of water, spanish moss, and cypress knees was enhanced by the absolute lack of homes across the river.

My photos, presented on CalcasieuRiver.com along with the satelitte view, also presented on the website, come close to capturing the spectacular east-west and Southern view of the river, but fall short of "being there."

In his view, this location offers "one of the most beautiful views of the river" in Moss Bluff. I agree!

Because of the density, the For Sale sign also reads, "Posted. No Trespassing."  But guess who has the owner's permission to re-visit the river's edge? I eagerly await my next "walk to the river!"

As discussed on the "Agency Rules Explained" section of the website, I solely represent the owner, but invite those interested in a spectaular view of the river to call me to discuss the details and the potential of a visit to the water's edge.

As you will see on CalcasieuRiver.com, the 17 acres are actually divided into two listings with a "consider the possibilities" section for both.

Mary Kay this sounds and looks like a wonderful property. I have a feeling it will move quickly and Bingo you made a sale. Any place with moss hanging from trees is prime For Sale. Keep us informed.

Teresa, sorry for my delayed response...I've been quite busy and suspect you have been also.  You captured the property in one word..."serenity." Thanks for stopping by.

Mary, after checking out your blog, I really appreciate your comments.  Come back by the end of the week as I'm anxious for feedback on a similar approach for a HUGE listing I've been working on. 

I REALLY like your application of introducing new homeowners.  GREAT idea!
