This exceptional 56-acre estate offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully improved ranch just minutes from Shreveport and adjacent to Cross Lake. Currently operating as a working cattle farm, the property combines productive pastureland with recreational and residential amenities, creating an ideal setting for a private estate, horse property, family compound, or ranch. The rolling acreage features well-maintained Bahia and Bermuda grass pastures, mature trees, three ponds including one stocked for fishing, and is fully fenced and cross-fenced for livestock. A gated entrance, manicured landscaping, and picturesque views create a peaceful setting throughout the property. Improvements include a well-maintained 2,164 square foot single-story country home and an approximately 50 by 100 foot barn with individual stalls and a tack room, making the property well suited for cattle, horses, equipment storage, and agricultural use. The property is offered as a stand-alone 56-acre estate and is also available as part of the complete 65-plus-acre Heathwood Estates offering. Buyers seeking additional acreage may purchase the adjoining 9-plus-acre tract, already platted into seven residential lots. The additional acreage is ideal for a multigenerational family estate, future homesites, or long-term flexibility. See MLS 20893899 for additional information.
