The address says it all. The homes that grace Highland Road, from LSU to Country Club of Louisiana, are some of Baton Rouge’s finest residences. In that tradition, this +/- 19.6 acre property is an ideal site for an upscale residential subdivision. It's located in zip code 70808, 3.6 miles from LSU and 3.1 miles from Our Lady of Lake Regional Medical Center. Zoned A-1 residential, the property can generously support 50 -56 home sites with a large pond and community green space as a focal point. Concept plans are available on request.
The land is level, located on the “high side” of Highland Road, and borders Highland Road, Magnolia Wood Avenue, and Menlo Drive. Portions of the Highland Road frontage are designated "neighborhood center" in the East Baton Rouge Parish Future Use Plan. There are .34 acres of wetlands. The wetlands determination and estimate of mitigation costs is also included in the documents. The property is located in flood zone X and is protected by the levee.
At the time the property was sold an adjacent half acre lot was included in the purchase.

Helene helped us purchase our first, beautiful home in Baton Rouge. Immediately we were put at ease with her extensive knowledge of the area and years of experience. She knew every area of the city, every real estate company and every realtor! After just 1 meeting she was able to quickly hone in on what type of home we were looking for and always maximized our time when we traveled out for viewings. Helene never thought any detail was too small. Everything is important when you are buying a home and she makes sure that she walks you through every step of the process. It was such a comfort to know that she was on our side. This entire journey of moving to a new city and buying a fantastic home was made so much easier by Helene. We would not hesitate to recommend her as your realtor in Baton Rouge. She is the one we would send our own family to. Thank you Helene!

I want to thank Helene Kurtz for her help in the recent purchase of our new home and sale of our old home.
Helene has become such a good friend and guide to me, my family and friends over the past decade. She has assisted in the purchase and sale of multiple properties since my first move into the Capital Region 10 years ago.
She has helped make every process move smoothly and kept emotion out of our decisions, which is what every great agent should make their goal. Her attention to detail in every transaction is top notch.
It has been a pleasure to work with Helene, and I certainly suggest anyone give her a shot when it comes to your real estate needs!

The process of selling my house was made much easier once Helene listed it. I originally tried to sell my house as a for sale by owner but in hindsight I could have saved money if I had listed it with Helene first because of the exposure she offered as well as her expertise in my neighborhood. Helene was a joy to work with. I especially appreciated her honesty and integrity. Instead of just telling me what a home seller may want to hear she was honest and candid about a marketing approach customized for my house. I believe that honesty came through in our relationship with the buyers and consequently I had 2 offers simultaneously. It was a good position to be in and I appreciate having Helene working with me through the process. I would highly recommend her as a listing agent to anyone who is thinking of listing their home.

Selling our home was a terribly emotional time for our family. Choosing Helene Kurtz to help us sell our home was absolutely the first and best decision we made. While Helene s access to market data enabled us to determine the right price for our home, it was her keen understanding of buyer motives that helped us properly present our home to prospective owners.
Moreover, her grace during the inspection and negotiation process resulted in both us and our buyer coming away from the signing table feeling happy and fairly treated. Through this process, we realized how much work goes into selling a house before the For Sale sign goes up in the yard. As you enter your own period of transition, I strongly recommend selecting Helene Kurtz as your realtor. It'll be the best decision you make.

Helene starting working with Catherine and I about a year ago when we were referred to her through a colleague and dear friend of hers and ours. Helene has an incredible knowledge of the marketplace. She was able to tailor searches of Baton Rouge with houses that fit our needs spotting value and making great recommendations. The most impressive thing about Helene is that she was more than just a real estate professional, she took a personal interest in our specific needs and interests. Helene went above and beyond my expectations following up with inspectors, meeting experts and keeping everyone on course. At her fingertips she has a name and a number for painters, contractors, building suppliers, inspectors and professionals who give her clients good information. Through the negotiation process and the closing, she was money. Catherine and I fully and totally recommend Helene Kurtz!!
