Description
Located alongside the Grand Cote National Wildlife Refuge, this tract offers a combination of timber value, hunting utility, and practical access that will appeal to buyers seeking a multi-use recreational holding. The refuge provides more than 4,000 acres of public land managed for wildlife, with archery-only deer hunting and additional fishing and waterfowl opportunities. Adjacent to this federal refuge, the landscape available to an owner for outdoor use is significantly expanded.
The property consists predominantly of mature hardwood timber common to this region of Louisiana. In addition, approximately 65 acres of merchantable pine are ready for harvest, creating immediate timber revenue potential. The mix of timber types, edge habitat, and proximity to the refuge contributes to consistent wildlife presence year-round.
A well-developed internal road system allows access across the tract for stand placement, timber management, and general use. Four established food plots, four box blinds, and feeders are in place and have supported successful hunting. Several mature bucks have been harvested from this property, and the surrounding area is widely recognized for its whitetail genetics and age structure. Additional shooting lanes and stand locations can be added due to the tract’s layout and timber composition.
Seasonal conditions at the refuge influence water levels on the back side of the property. When the refuge holds water, the duck hunting in these areas can be highly productive, adding another layer of recreational value. This mix of deer, small game, and intermittent waterfowl opportunities creates a diverse hunting profile without requiring extensive habitat modification.
Blacktop frontage ensures reliable ingress and egress year-round. Community water and electricity located nearby offer the potential for future utility access if desired. A gravel driveway to the campsite is already in place, providing a functional staging area for hunters or land managers. The current owners have limited motorized travel during hunting season, opting instead for e-bikes or walking to minimize disturbance and maintain predictable wildlife movement patterns.
The tract’s combination of timber value, habitat, and adjacency to a large block of public land makes it a strong candidate for buyers seeking land with both recreational and investment characteristics. Its infrastructure, access, and location within a well-known hunting region support a wide range of potential uses, from seasonal hunting to long-term land stewardship.
