Offered at $16,645,000 | Mercer Ranch
Mercer Ranch is a fully secured 834-acre estate in Richland Parish, Louisiana, offering a rare blend of luxury living, income-producing land, privacy, and long-term development potential.
Located just 20 minutes from the new Meta data center, the property sits directly in the path of one of the region’s largest economic expansions. Whether as a private estate, corporate retreat, or strategic investment, Mercer Ranch offers scale, control, and upside that is increasingly difficult to find.
This is not a per-acre property. Mercer Ranch was designed as a controlled, high-fence estate delivering predictable, owner-managed outcomes through infrastructure, herd management, and year-round usability.
At the heart of the ranch is a five-bedroom, four-bathroom executive lodge built with timeless craftsmanship and antique character. Interiors feature rare pecky cypress, custom cabinetry, and rich Southern finishes. Every window opens to wildlife views, with over 50 deer regularly seen across the property.
Wraparound porches provide 360-degree views of pasture, timberland, and sky, with sunsets stretching across open farmland. A pondless waterfall adds natural sound without maintenance.
A ¾-mile blacktopped drive leads through gated entry with signature “M” branding into a fully fenced and secured compound. Features include a security camera system, whole-house generator, 40' x 80' equipment building, and miles of internal roads and trails.
The ranch supports a turnkey trophy whitetail operation with managed genetics, feeders, and blinds, allowing full control of herd quality and harvest. It also offers corporate hunting and recreational opportunities.
Approximately 150 acres of farmland provide consistent agricultural income while supporting the wildlife program. Additional acreage includes timber enrolled in conservation programs with payments through 2029, along with waterfowl and habitat potential.
Mercer Ranch combines scale, privacy, infrastructure, and income with proximity to major corporate development. The existing “M” identity creates a unique opportunity for branding as Mercer Ranch, Mangham Ranch, or Meta Ranch.
What the owner loves about this home
What makes this property special is something you feel the moment you arrive. There are no neighbors, no road noise—just quiet, open space and complete privacy. It’s a place where you can truly disconnect.
The property is fully gated and secured, adding an extra level of safety and peace of mind from the moment you enter.
Wildlife is part of everyday life here. Deer move across the property morning and evening, with open farmland and wide views creating a constant connection to the land.
The sunsets are something you never get used to—watching the sky open up across the fields from the porch, with nothing around you but nature. The sound of the waterfall, the breeze through the trees, and the seclusion create a sense of calm that feels timeless.
At the same time, the property was built with safety and reliability in mind. With a full perimeter fence, security system, and whole-house standby generator, you have peace of mind in any situation, including severe weather.
It’s rare to find a place that offers this level of privacy, beauty, and security all in one.
