A true paradise known as Riverbend Farm in Columbia, Louisiana is officially available for purchase. It is a once-in-a-lifetime North Louisiana retreat nestled along the banks of the beautiful Ouachita River with unparalleled bluff side views of a patchwork quilt of farmland beyond. Entry to the property offers the pinnacle of serenity and privacy with a private drive that meanders through majestic oak timber, leading to a gated entrance, continuing on to the main lodge. The property combines lush pastures, mature pine and hardwood timber, a fishing pond, and stunning views of the river. The fishing pond, situated at the bottom of the hill from the lodge, captures the essence of Louisiana with its moss-adorned bald cypress trees graced with native aviary. You can expect to catch bream and trophy largemouth bass in this beautiful setting. The lodge is 4320 square feet with four bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths. You will find granite countertops, oversized windows, stainless steel appliances inside, and stained concrete floors and wood accents throughout the home. Other improvements include a caretaker's 1,950 sq. foot house, a barn with stalls, a tack room, grain storage, and miscellaneous sheds for tractors and farming equipment. The property is less than one-half mile from Columbia and LA 165 and approximately 30 minutes from Monroe and an hour from Alexandria. There are over 2 miles of Ouachita River frontage, and the west side borders the soon-to-be Bayou Dechene Reservoir. Continue its legacy as a dream equestrian property or ultimate retreat to entertain friends and family and make roots for generations to come. Make this very unique property your home or private getaway and enjoy the beautiful outdoors conveniently located close to all the conveniences you might want or need. This is a must-see for anyone looking for an unparalleled piece of the Sportsman's Paradise. Call today for your private showing.
