Private 45.59-acre Houston River retreat compound featuring approximately 1, 100 feet of river frontage, a lodge, guest cabins, equestrian facilities, and a private concrete boat launch. Located in North Sulphur, Louisiana, this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, recreational amenities, and large-scale improvements while remaining conveniently located near Sulphur and Lake Charles. The property features approximately 1, 100 feet of Houston River frontage along with a private concrete boat launch, providing direct access to the river for boating, fishing, kayaking, and outdoor recreation. Multiple lakes and ponds throughout the property further enhance the peaceful retreat setting, surrounded by mature hardwood trees and open pasture areas. At the center of the property is a beautiful log-style lodge overlooking a private lake, complemented by multiple guest cabins and bunkhouses designed to accommodate family, guests, or retreat groups. The property includes approximately 31, 923 square feet of improvements, consisting of the main lodge, guest cabins, bunkhouses, office building, pavilion, equestrian barn, shop building, and multiple support structures. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the impressive 13, 703-square-foot Barnmaster 60-stall horse barn, designed with ridge-vent ventilation to promote natural airflow and help keep stalls cooler during Louisiana summers. The barn features automatic waterers and hay racks in every stall along with a modular stall system allowing stalls to be reconfigured or combined for larger stalls or additional tack or office space. The professional Barnmaster 60-stall equestrian barn represents a substantial investment in infrastructure that would be difficult and costly to replicate in today’s construction environment. The property is also conveniently located within a short drive of Delta Downs Racetrack in Vinton, Louisiana and the Southeast Texas region, including Beaumont and the Golden Triangle area, making it attractive for horse trainers, owners, and equestrian operations seeking nearby training and lodging facilities. Additional improvements include a 7, 700-square-foot shop building, a spacious 2, 880-square-foot pavilion ideal for gatherings or events, and multiple barns and storage buildings supporting the ranch operation. The property is fenced with metal drill-stem pipe fencing through much of the acreage and offers convenient access from both North Claiborne Street and Ledoux Road while maintaining a private retreat setting. The layout and improvements are well suited for use as a private retreat, corporate retreat facility, church retreat center, event venue, equestrian estate, or recreational ranch property, and the property has hosted various group gatherings and retreat-style uses in the past. Properties offering this combination of river frontage, lodging facilities, equestrian infrastructure, and acreage rarely become available in Southwest Louisiana or SE Texas.
