Hydrologist has advised that the water in the well on this property was rainfall in the Paleolithic epoch or earlier. It has not seen the light of day in approx. 10K years, having fallen as ancient rainwater creating this rare valuable unfracked limestone aquifer. The property is a 15 minute drive to Covington, and one hour to New Orleans via the causeway. This is an exceptionally rare offering of sanctuary from a maddening world.
