The Land

A quarter-section of high ground with water running through it.

Acreage & Boundaries

Bellagra is a quarter-section plus three acres — 163± acres. It is predominantly rectangular with no major projections, peninsulas, or incursions. The property faces two blacktop parish roads: Briar Patch Cemetery Road on the western boundary and East Bell Road on the northern boundary. The east boundary has one neighbor; the south boundary has one neighbor.

Peaks Creek

The property is defined by two creeks, the primary being Peaks Creek — a named, spring-fed, live creek that runs year-round. It enters the property at the northeast corner and exits at the southwest corner, which means Bellagra controls both banks for the entire length of the creek's passage through the land. You can find it on a map.

A second, smaller creek also crosses the property. Mature hardwoods line both sides of both waterways, creating natural corridors of shade and cover.

Timber

Mature Pines ~80 acres
Age 25+ years
New Planting ~20 acres
Planted Within last 2 months

The mature pine plantation is approximately 80 acres of 25-year-plus trees, with an additional 20 acres freshly planted. The plantation is not an afterthought — it's a working asset woven into the property's character.

Pasture & Open Ground

Approximately 25 to 30 acres of open pasture, broken into several parcels across the property. The land is rolling hills — high ground throughout. No part of the property sits in a floodplain.

Wildlife

Turkey, deer, rabbit, and quail are all present on the property. The combination of pine plantation, hardwood corridors, open pasture, and permanent water creates year-round habitat. Whether it's hunting, birding, or just watching the deer move through at dusk, the wildlife is a central feature of the land.

Trails

Approximately five miles of intertwined trails cross the property — not just perimeter tracks but paths that wind through the pine plantation itself. Hiking, ATV, or just walking the property line — the trail network makes all 163 acres accessible.

Location
