COMING SOON to West Monroe 12Lakes RV Fishing Resort will be the 1st of many phases of development at Gater Ranch, a new LIVE-WORK-PLAY waterfront community, conceived and designed by an award-winning architect- slated to break all barriers. Designed with a Southern spin on the new-urbanism style, think a A. Hayes Town style Seaside, FL.....or a native Louisiana Rosemary Beach ..or Watercolor marshland preserve This ranch community will be tied to the Ike's schedule and will have everything a small town needs to operate and support its occupants within- utilizing bikes, walking trails, or traversing the entire private ranch in your own buggy or rent one of ours! Here at the ranch, we tip our hats and welcome you to come join our boon-docking community (available now) on our gorgeous 23ac fishing lake! This picturesque lake was stocked in the 80s by a wildlife & fisheries agent and since has remained private for over 40 years! The quarry RV park will soon be open to live short or long term and our Office/Warehouse rental units will be available soon to run your business here on site, and then many more attractions and amenities will soon follow! Come experience our incredibly unique topography, a rare forested former sand & gravel quarry turned RV Fishing Ranch Resort right here in the middle of North Louisiana in West Monroe! History: As we have gathered, this land was quarried by Monroe Sand & Gravel Ltd. in the 1950s. The land had a fairly high elevation and tons of sand and gravel were extracted to build I-20 and most of Monroe/West Monroe. An assemblage of several tracts were then sold to a Mr.Cox who wished as his Magnum Opus to flatten back out all the massive mountains of overburden back into commercial land in an incredible location, but tragically he passed just before he could begin. His wife inherited the land, but never desired to do anything with it, she passed it on to her niece who lives in WM to this day, and we purchased the ranch in 2021. These abandoned pits have remained untouched for 60 years while mother nature has run her course allowing an entire unique ecosystem to develop and forests mature throughout the massive hills of overburden and deep gravel hollers, with springs that feed streams and ponds, creating native marshland, hardwood bottoms, and pristine lakes- surrounded by land that can be described as "Costs Rica meets Mississippi Bluffs"- 102 acres of unique mountainous land where 70 foot mature pine stands and bottomland alternate- and all this in the most perfect location right within West Monroe's commercial growth corridor! Once you see this place and the architecture that will be created within, you will understand the beauty and see what the architect with his vision conceived. You will want to call this place home!! A Wildlife Preserve. Our ranch is home to the most abundant and healthy wildlife around- bass, bream, catfish, whitetail deer, blue heron, crane, red fox, and so much more wildlife are abundant across the entire ranch!! Very soon we'll have waterfront RV spaces with 30/50amp service, commercial spaces for lease, Boat&RV storage, Self-Storage, restaurants, various models of short-term cabins, fishing facilities, boats, carts and ranch buggies for rent to roam our spread, get to your new office, and accommodate your every need!! Boondocking is available immediately! Please message us for inquiries, suggestions, and to sign up to get on our waiting list! More coming soon!
