Evangeline Parish
Recreational Hunting Tract With 3 Lakes
Glenmora Turkey Creek Hwy Ville Platte, LA 70589
Description
This 253±-acre ranch offers a well-balanced combination of recreational, agricultural, and residential opportunities. Originally assembled over time from an initial 80-acre purchase, the property now encompasses a diverse landscape designed for long-term use and enjoyment. With three lakes, established infrastructure, and usable terrain, the foundation is in place for a productive working ranch, a hunting property, or a full-time rural residence.
The land is predominantly flat to gently rolling, making it accessible and functional across most of the acreage. Mature hardwoods and pine trees are scattered throughout, creating natural cover for wildlife while maintaining visibility and usability. The timbered areas transition into open ground, including approximately 13 acres of fenced pasture suitable for grazing cattle or horses. The pasture infrastructure, combined with multiple on-site barns, supports small-scale livestock operations or equipment storage.
Water is a defining feature of this ranch. Three lakes are positioned across the property, with the largest measuring approximately 30 acres. The presence of multiple water sources enhances wildlife habitat, supports livestock, and contributes to long-term land value. Properties with this level of surface water are increasingly difficult to assemble in a single tract.
An unfinished cabin sits overlooking one of the lakes. The structure was built using lumber milled directly from timber harvested on the ranch, reflecting the quality and durability of the materials. The exterior shell and primary construction have been completed, while the interior remains unfinished. Utilities are in place, allowing the next owner to complete the build according to their preferences. Whether finished as a primary residence, weekend cabin, or guest quarters, the structure provides a substantial head start compared to starting new construction from the ground up.
The ranch also offers established trails that allow for convenient access by ATV, truck, or horseback. These trails make it practical to navigate the property for fencing maintenance, livestock management, or hunting access.
Wildlife habitat is strong across the ranch. The combination of timber, open pasture, and water creates a favorable environment for whitetail deer and other native game species. The size and layout of the property allow for managed hunting opportunities while still maintaining areas for agricultural use.
From an investment standpoint, this property benefits from scale, water resources, existing improvements, and multi-use flexibility. It can function as a recreational hunting property, a cattle operation, a private residence, or a combination of all three. The groundwork has been laid; the next owner can complete the cabin and continue improving the ranch to match their long-term vision.
Large tracts with multiple lakes, usable pasture, and structural improvements are not common in today’s market. This 253± acre ranch offers infrastructure, habitat diversity, and development potential in one cohesive holding.
