Some properties are built for a lifestyle.Others are built for leverage.Camellia Ridge offers both without forcing you into either.Set on 53 acres in Opelousas, this fully operational equestrian estate is less about what it is today and more about what it allows you to control tomorrow. The infrastructure is established, functional, and ready for immediate use including a five-furlong training track with a two-horse starting gate, two Morton-built barns, and nine fenced paddocks designed for serious operations.The main barn features twelve 12x12 stalls with rubber mats, tack room, wash rack with hot and cold water, grain silo, and air-conditioned office. The mare barn includes a 12x24 foaling stall, four additional 12x12 stalls, foaling cameras, an air-conditioned office, full bathroom, and washer/dryer hookups. Additional improvements include a covered Equicizer and hot walker, 40-foot round pen, 60x80 shop, and loafing sheds in each paddock.The land itself expands the property's flexibility. A stocked pond with gazebo, deck, electricity, water, and aerating fountain creates a secondary focal point suitable for private enjoyment or future use. Fire pit, BBQ area, RV hookups, and abundant wildlife enhance privacy without isolation.The ranch-style residence offers 4 bedrooms with the option for 6, 2.5 baths, a chef's kitchen with commercial-grade appliances, a spacious living area with stone fireplace and exposed beams, sunroom overlooking the estate, and upstairs flex space. Recent upgrades include new windows, a roof less than one year old, and a whole-house generator.Camellia Ridge is not speculative land and not a one-use property. It is a controllable asset with immediate function and long-term optionality. Opportunities like this are increasingly difficult to replicate at today's land and construction costs.Private showings available.
