Money Hill has received zoning approval in St. Tammany Parish to add more than 4,400 acres for a lifestyle community.
Money Hill’s ongoing community expansion represents a 50-year plan, according to a news release. Plans comprise a new 18-hole ‘core-golf’ course with restaurants and lodging, pickleball courts, a centralized village with shops, restaurants, a grocery store, offices and community park, community clubhouse amenities, sport fields, expanded lakes, a nature outfitter center and connected walking trails. In addition, it will have over 1,700 acres of undeveloped open space, long leaf pine and an oak grove preserve.
New homesites for custom home building are presently available, with single-family neighborhoods, estate and equestrian lots, traditional cottage neighborhoods, and senior-living facilities planned for the future.
“This represents an exciting new chapter for the future of Money Hill and St. Tammany Parish,” Mimi Dossett, president of Money Hill, said in a news release. “The opportunity to think and plan long range for parks, greenspaces, lakes and other amenities, and the ability to create new lots in other areas of the property, opens new possibilities for us as we try to grow as necessary to build out a sustainable community while staying true to our ideals of natural beauty and conservation.”
Money Hill has partnered with North Carolina-based KoontzJones Design, a land planning and landscape architecture firm on the development and community design plan.
“Money Hill’s expansion exemplifies the strategic, smart growth that is vital for St. Tammany’s bright future,” St. Tammany Parish District 6 Councilwoman Cheryl Tanner said in a news release. “The exceptional quality of life offered by Money Hill will continue to attract new residents to St. Tammany, enriching our region with a thriving community.”
Money Hill has been part of St. Tammany Parish for over a century. It has been run by the Goodyear family since 1905. It initially supported the timber, pulp, paper and tung oil industries. In the latter half of the twentieth century, Money Hill was transformed into a campground and hunting club.
Presently, Money Hill is a 5,600-acre property with an existing 18-hole golf course and residential community.
