This working farm presents a great combination of farming, ranching, and waterfowling opportunities on one property. Investment potential is enhanced by I-10 frontage with ingress and egress a short distance for both eastbound and westbound traffic, plus county road frontage on all three other sides of the farm.

Located just outside of Welsh and fronting the north feeder road of I-10, the farm is very conveniently located approximately 25 miles from Lake Charles, 50 miles from Lafayette, and 170 miles from Houston. There are regional airports in both Lake Charles and Lafayette.
WILDLIFE
Southwest Louisiana is known for its exceptional duck hunting. The Welsh area and Jefferson Davis Parish in general are still home to thousands of acres of rice and crawfish farms that provide the habitat and feed to keep waterfowl returning to the area. In addition to ducks, approximately 80 acres of brushier regrowth on the farm provides habitat for deer and hogs. There is a +/-8-acre lake ready for stocking.

Crawfish or rice/crawfish are rotated on the northern portion of the farm, while the southern +/-135 acres is native pasture fenced for grazing.
WATER
In addition to the lake, the farm is watered by an irrigation well, believed to be approximately 300' deep and producing an estimated 700 -- 750 GPM.
