The farm improvements on this tract are first class and include three 10" wells that deliver irrigation water to 360+/- Acs of precision, laser leveled rice/crawfish ground and irrigate another 70+/- Acs of row crop via 15 risers and approx. 5,342' of underground pipe. Another 31+/- Acs of row crop ground round makes up the remainder of the total 461 Acs of cropland on this farm.

The sellers are currently farming the tract and are interested in talking to the new owner about a potential leaseback. Being only half a mile from Grand Cote National Wildlife Refuge, the recreational aspect of this farm is amazing. The flooded rice fields can draw large numbers of waterfowl when conditions are right, and three duck blinds are in place with room for more. Grand Cote is known for holding large numbers of ducks and nearby properties benefit from this. Additional income from leasing duck blinds could add to a new owner's return on income when coupled with the farm rent. The 32+/- Acs of hardwoods and the field edges touching it are full of deer tracks and the sellers have harvested several mature bucks from property in the 150" range. Like ducks, Grand Cote and neighboring properties in this area have a well-deserved reputation for producing big deer. Outstanding recreational opportunities combined with the income this farm could bring in make it a one-of-a-kind property. With eight tenths of a mile road frontage along German Bayou Rd, and another 475' of frontage along Pumpkin Ln, getting your crop out the field is no problem. The Pumpkin Rd frontage has a 3BR, 1BA camp of approx. 1176 sqft. Included with the property, it is currently used for farm labor or could be a starter camp for a new owner. There is also plenty of room to build a farm/equipment shop. It's not often when income and recreation are both available on a property, but this one has both!
