Heathwood Estates presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly versatile ±66.5-acre property combining agricultural productivity, residential development potential, and private estate living just minutes from the Shreveport metro area. Located adjacent to Cross Lake and positioned within convenient reach of major transportation corridors, this offering delivers the increasingly scarce combination of scale, infrastructure, and long-term investment flexibility.
Currently operating as a working cattle and hay property, the land features gently rolling pastures seeded with Bahia and Bermuda grasses that support both grazing and forage production. The terrain provides natural drainage and usability across the acreage, allowing an owner to step into immediate agricultural operations without the extensive land preparation costs often associated with undeveloped tracts.

The property is fully perimeter fenced and enhanced with cross-fencing, enabling efficient livestock management and pasture rotation. Three ponds are thoughtfully distributed throughout the land, including one stocked for fishing, offering both functional water sources and recreational appeal. Mature trees create natural shade corridors while contributing to the property's scenic character.
At the center of the estate sits a well-appointed ±2,164-square-foot ranch-style residence designed for both comfort and durability. The home features custom millwork, an open living, dining, and kitchen layout, and quality finishes throughout. Interior highlights include granite countertops, double cooktops, built-in shelving, a brick fireplace, and abundant storage.
A dedicated mudroom supports the realities of rural ownership with laundry connections, a utility sink, and a shower — a practical feature for agricultural or outdoor lifestyles.
The primary suite offers a spacious retreat complete with a walk-in closet, Jacuzzi tub, custom-tiled shower, and generous storage. Surrounding the home, a wraparound porch overlooks fenced pastureland and professionally maintained landscaping, creating an inviting setting that balances functionality with quiet rural views.
Complementing the residence is a substantial 50’ x 100’ barn equipped with individual stalls and a tack room. Whether supporting equestrian use, livestock operations, equipment storage, or hobby farming, the structure provides immediate operational value while reducing future capital expenditures.
A gated entrance enhances both privacy and security, reinforcing the property's suitability as a private compound, executive retreat, or long-term family estate.
Multiple Acquisition Strategies with Built-In Upside
One of Heathwood Estates’ strongest differentiators is its ability to support several ownership paths simultaneously.
Positioned at the front of the property is an approximately ±9.24-acre frontage tract located within the Heathwood Estates setting. This parcel has received conceptual approval for a seven-lot subdivision, with initial development momentum already demonstrated as the first four lots have been sold.
For developers or investors, this represents a meaningful head start by reducing entitlement uncertainty and shortening the timeline typically required to bring residential land to market. With infrastructure access already available and strong connectivity to regional thoroughfares, the tract is well suited for custom home construction or a boutique residential development targeting buyers seeking space without sacrificing proximity to the city.
Buyers may elect to purchase the frontage tract independently, acquire the improved ±57-acre estate separately, or secure the entire ±66.5-acre property to preserve maximum flexibility.
Ownership of the full acreage allows for a phased strategy — maintain agricultural operations while selectively releasing residential lots based on market demand, establish a private multi-generational compound, or hold the land as a long-term appreciating asset.
In a market where adaptability is increasingly valuable, Heathwood Estates offers optionality rather than constraint.
Strategic Location Without Sacrificing Privacy
Ideally situated less than 20 minutes from Downtown Shreveport, the property provides quick access to employment centers, healthcare, retail, and dining while maintaining the peaceful character expected of rural ownership.
Interstates 49 and 220 are reachable within approximately 10 minutes, and both Interstate 20 and Louisiana Highway 3132 (Inner Loop) are nearby, supporting efficient regional connectivity for commuters and logistics alike.
This positioning places the property within a corridor where residential growth continues to expand outward from the metro area — a pattern that has historically supported long-term land value.
Despite its accessibility, the surrounding area remains notably private, offering the sense of separation many buyers seek without introducing the resale challenges that can accompany overly remote locations.
For purchasers relocating from higher-density markets, Heathwood Estates provides the increasingly desirable balance of meaningful acreage and everyday convenience.
Prepared Land with Immediate Utility
Large, contiguous tracts featuring structural improvements, water resources, fencing, and development potential have become progressively harder to find near established population centers. Heathwood Estates stands apart not simply because of its size, but because much of the foundational work has already been completed.
Pasture establishment, fencing infrastructure, structural improvements, and preliminary subdivision planning allow the next owner to inherit progress rather than start from raw land.
The property supports immediate use while retaining the flexibility to evolve alongside changing investment objectives.
Whether envisioned as:
• A working cattle or horse operation
• A private family estate
• A recreational retreat
• A residential development project
• A long-term land hold within a diversified portfolio
Heathwood Estates is positioned to perform across ownership timelines.

Investment Perspective
Properties capable of delivering agricultural functionality, residential upside, and estate-quality living within close proximity to a major city rarely reach the open market. When they do, replacement options are limited.
Heathwood Estates is not speculative land requiring years of preparation. It is a functioning asset with embedded value, positioned within the path of measured regional growth.
For buyers seeking control, flexibility, and long-term relevance in a land acquisition, this property offers attributes that are increasingly difficult to replicate.
