Holly Ridge is a remarkable 4,000± acre contiguous landholding located in Richland Parish, Louisiana, just 1.5 miles east of META's transformative AI Data Center Campus. As one of the largest privately held tracts in the immediate vicinity of the project, the property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial land position within one of the fastest emerging growth corridors in the southeastern United States. The combination of size, location, and development flexibility creates a compelling investment opportunity for developers, institutional investors, and long-term landowners alike.
The property consists primarily of mature timberland and recreational acreage, providing immediate intrinsic value while preserving exceptional long-term development potential. Holly Ridge includes approximately 1,726 acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and approximately 1,100± acres enrolled in the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), creating a diversified income and conservation profile while maintaining significant long-term upside. Improvements include five irrigation wells, a private landing strip, and a shop facility, providing valuable infrastructure that supports both current operations and future development possibilities.
Holly Ridge benefits from outstanding infrastructure access, including proximity to major electric transmission corridors, regional rail service, U.S. Highway 17, and Interstate 20. The property is strategically positioned within an established transportation and utility network that supports future large-scale development. Additionally, the tract lies within the Mississippi River Alluvial Aquifer, one of the most productive groundwater resources in the United States, further enhancing the property's long-term development capabilities and resource value.
META's multi-billion-dollar investment is expected to drive substantial growth throughout Richland Parish and Northeast Louisiana for decades to come. As infrastructure improvements, utility expansions, housing demand, and commercial activity continue to accelerate throughout the region, Holly Ridge is uniquely positioned to benefit from this transformational growth. Whether envisioned as a long-term land banking opportunity, a future development platform, or a strategic investment supported by existing conservation income and recreational value, Holly Ridge stands as one of the most significant land investment opportunities currently available in Louisiana.
