Prime Real Estate Opportunity in Eastern Grant Parish

Nestled next to the Kisatchie National Forest in the eastern portion of Grant Parish, this expansive 685 acres of land offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a substantial tract for recreational enjoyment and periodic income from commercial timber opportunities for many years.  This tract has excellent road frontage, productive timber of multiple ages, gently rolling topography, sandy loam soils, with potential for rural development opportunities.  This tract provides opportunities for management and income that smaller tracts just can’t provide.

Location and Directions

Starting from Alexandria, take US 165 north, crossing over the Red River. Continue for approximately 13 miles. Upon reaching Walker Ferry Road, turn right (east). Follow Walker Ferry Road for about six miles to reach the property.

Frontage and Access

This tract boasts impressive road frontage, with approximately 6,000 feet along Walker Ferry Road and an additional 2,900 feet along Lonnie’s Landing Road. A short USFS road provides access from Sonnier Road from the west, and the woods road on the property will be the northern boundary for the westernmost portion of this property.  

Topography  & Soils

The topography varies from a low of 40 feet above sea level on the easternmost portion of the property to 170 feet above sea level on the highest hill on the property.  The topography can be best described as gently rolling, with some areas more gentle and some areas more rolling. 
The soils on the property are primarily fine sandy or silt loams for the most part.  The heavier, clay soils are confined to the streamsides and lowest areas on the property.  

Vegetation

The property has a history of good and active forest management.  Recently, 162 acres have been clearcut and are planned for reforestation in 2025-26.  The remaining acreage is primarily very productive loblolly pine plantations of various ages, with some hardwoods in the lower elevations and along the streamside management zones.  The areas by cover type are as follows:

Timber Type	Acres
Thinned Pine Plantation 1999	83.3
Pine Plantation 2000	42.3
Pine Plantation 2005	113.2
Pine Plantation 2012	75.2
Pine Plantation 2017	24.9
Clearcut	162.5
