About this property
Located just outside Welsh in Jefferson Davis Parish, this 47±-acre property offers a balanced combination of residential improvements, productive land, recreational opportunities, and equipment ready to use from day one. With a mix of mature timber, pasture, water features, and direct access to East Lacassine Bayou, the property is well-suited for buyers looking for a multi-use investment in Southwest Louisiana. The residence consists of approximately 2,000 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Recent updates include new electrical wiring and plumbing, providing modern infrastructure while maintaining the home's character. The layout offers comfortable living for a primary residence, weekend property, or hunting headquarters. The land has been developed to support several different uses. Approximately 4 acres are fenced for livestock or other agricultural purposes, while roughly 30 acres of mature timber provide wildlife habitat, privacy, and long-term timber value. A well-maintained trail system connects much of the property, allowing convenient access by ATV or utility vehicle for recreation, hunting, and property maintenance. Water features are a major component of this property. A stocked 1.5-acre pond offers opportunities for fishing and family recreation, while the approximately 8-acre crawfish pond provides income-producing potential and doubles as quality waterfowl habitat. An existing duck blind is already in place, allowing the next owner to enjoy the property's seasonal hunting opportunities. The hunting potential is enhanced by established deer stands strategically located throughout the timber. The combination of hardwood cover, water resources, natural travel corridors, and nearby agricultural influence creates a habitat that supports both deer and migratory waterfowl. Whether pursuing whitetails in the fall or ducks in the winter, the property offers year-round outdoor recreation. One of the property's unique features is the private boat launch providing direct access to East Lacassine Bayou. This access expands recreational opportunities beyond the property boundaries, allowing convenient boating, fishing, and additional waterfowl hunting throughout the bayou system. An added benefit is the extensive list of equipment that comes with the sale. Included are a 2013 New Holland 75-horsepower four-wheel-drive cab tractor equipped with implements, including a 6-foot Bionic Blade, along with a 2013 Polaris Ranger 900 and a crawfish boat, a 10-inch lift pump for flooding the crawfish pond. These assets provide the tools needed to maintain trails, pasture, timber, ponds, and general property management without requiring any additional equipment purchases after closing. The property is located between Welsh and Thornwell, which are considered to have some of the highest-quality duck and goose hunting in Southwest Louisiana. This area sits in the heart of prime, historic agricultural lands heavily utilized by migrating waterfowl. Conveniently located approximately 10 minutes from Interstate 10, the property offers easy access while maintaining the privacy and functionality expected in a rural setting. Jennings is approximately 18 miles away, Lake Charles is approximately 30 miles away, and Lafayette is roughly 55 miles away, providing easy access to shopping, healthcare, employment, regional airports, casinos with entertainment and excellent restaurants. Properties that combine an updated home, productive pasture, mature timber, managed water features, quality hunting habitat, bayou access, and valuable equipment are increasingly difficult to find in one package. Whether your goals include establishing a full-time residence, operating a small agricultural property, enjoying Louisiana's outstanding hunting and fishing opportunities, or investing in a diverse rural property, this offering presents multiple opportunities within a single ownership.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
