Rare opportunity to own 50 private acres just 15 minutes from Ruston in Jackson Parish. This true Louisiana homestead offers rolling hills, wooded acreage, bubbling brooks, and mature fruit trees—ideal for those seeking privacy, and a slower pace of life. The custom-built home features extra-wide and tall doors, 9–10 ft ceilings, neutral finishes, and a spacious man cave with cathedral ceilings. Stair access leads to an unfinished attic ready for future expansion. The property also includes a second home, two stocked ponds, and a large shop with beautiful living quarters. Solar panels help reduce electric costs, adding to the efficiency and versatility of this unique property. A rare combination of land, privacy, and multiple living options. Must be seen in person to fully appreciate. Pre-approval required prior to showing.
