About This Home

BOSSIER PARISH - BENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT!!! Rare opportunity to own 20 ACRES where you can hunt straight from your back porch! Ideally located near Lake Ivan and bordering Bodcau WMA, this property offers unmatched access to fishing, boating, and outdoor adventure. Escape to the peace and privacy of country living with this one-of-a-kind 20-acre retreat. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 2,100 square feet plus a versatile 400 sq ft bonus room—perfect for a game room, office, or additional living space. Previously a garage, this space can easily be converted back to suit your needs. A beautiful mix of open land and timber creates the perfect setting—whether you're watching wildlife from your porch, riding trails, or simply enjoying the quiet. With a cleared homesite surrounded by woods and no neighbors in sight, this property delivers the privacy so many buyers are searching for. Step inside to find fresh updates including new flooring and interior paint, giving the home a clean, move-in-ready feel. The spacious layout features a large laundry room, walk-in pantry, eat-in kitchen, and a cozy living area centered around a wood-burning fireplace that can easily be converted to gas. Major improvements have already been taken care of, including new appliances, new well house with new bladder tank, a roof approximately 3–4 years old, and HVAC replaced in 2013—providing peace of mind for years to come. Outside, the possibilities truly open up. A workshop and lean-to provide space for equipment, hobbies, or storage, while the acreage offers room for horses, livestock, or future expansion. With the land currently in agricultural timber, you’ll benefit from lower property taxes and potential income opportunities. Whether you're dreaming of a private homestead, weekend getaway, hunting property, or long-term investment—this property checks every box. Properties like this don’t come along often—schedule your showing and experience it for yourself.
