The D’Arbonne 77 is a highly maintained, turn-key multi-purpose recreational and investment tract located in the heart of North Louisiana’s Piney Hills. This highly sought-after tract is located in southern-central Union Parish being 17 miles Northeast of Ruston, LA, 11 miles North of Squire Creek Country Club and 10 miles South of Beautiful Lake D’Arbonne and the community of Farmerville, LA. The property has one-quarter of a mile of highway frontage on State Hwy 151 West.
D’Arbonne 77 is comprised of two main timber stands. The first stand, covering roughly 20% of the tract, is a 16-18 year old highly managed pine plantation stand that is currently ready for its first thinning which will provide it’s new owner immediate return on their investment. The second timber stand, covering roughly 80% of the tract is a newly planted (2020) 4-5 year old highly managed pine plantation. By having two different stands, this tract provides its new owner the ability to manage the two timber stands throughout the years without having to clear-cut the entire tract all at once. Also, the diversity of the timber stands provide quality habitat for the white-tail deer and other small game that inhabit the tract. Dispersed amongst the two-pine timber stands are multiple hardwood bottoms following the multiple creeks that criss-cross the property. These bottoms provide natural travel corridors and food for the whitetail deer and other small game on the property.
D'Arbonne 77 has a highly managed and maintained interior road system, an established gated ingress/egress point which provide easy access for timber harvesting, hunting, atv-riding, horseback riding, and overall access to the property. The tract also has a natural-gas pipeline running the length of the property, west to east, which provides great access, as well as great shooting lanes for the established multiple deer stands on the property. One of the best and probably most underrated assets to the property is the established pond on the property. Not only does the ponds provide a good fishing hole, they provide water to the wildlife on the property and it could be expanded to create even bigger and better fishing lake. The recreational opportunities on this tract are endless. If you and your family are looking for a highly maintained turn-key country timber tract and help create memories for your family for years to come, then this is the tract for you.
