The Keenan Lake Ranch

Property Description

Set in the rolling foothills of the Ouachita Mountains, this 2,495 +/- acre property offers the kind of scale, privacy, and natural beauty that rarely comes to market—anchored by a stunning 110-acre private lake that immediately sets it apart. It’s a place with a quiet sense of prestige, a rich history tied to the Boy Scouts of America, and a landscape designed for recreation. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a mountain sanctuary worthy of generational ownership.

A blend of mature hardwoods and planted pine blankets the rolling terrain, creating both exceptional wildlife habitat and meaningful timber income potential. A well-developed road network provides the property with accessibility both internally and around much of its perimeter, allowing for easy access to virtually any portion of its vast footprint.

The recreational value is outstanding. The property supports strong populations of whitetail deer, turkey, and black bear, and the layout naturally lends itself to growing and holding mature bucks. The lake adds a rare dimension, having waterfowl potential, scenic fishing opportunities, and a setting that feels like a private mountain retreat.

This land carries a unique advantage—its former life as a Boy Scout holding. That heritage left behind an array of functional improvements that elevate the property: multiple cabins, pavilions, a dining hall, rifle and skeet ranges, a shower house, canoe shed, and more. Together, these structures provide a valuable infrastructure base that would take years and significant expense to replicate. For those with a vision of a premier hunting and recreational ranch, this property delivers the perfect canvas with an extraordinary head start.

Along the lake’s edge are beautiful, park-like shorelines with easy access, ideal for gatherings, boat launches, or future enhancements. With municipal water and electricity already reaching a large portion of the tract, the property is well positioned for a private retreat, a wilderness lodge concept, or a thoughtfully designed hunting and recreation estate.
This tract's vast presence makes it feel substantial, capable, and ready for the next owner to shape it into something remarkable—whether that’s a legacy family getaway, a high-end hunting operation, or a premium conservation and timber asset.

Large tracts of this caliber, scale, and versatility are virtually impossible to replicate. This is a legacy-level property with the natural resources, infrastructure, and setting to be a truly extraordinary paradise in the Ouachita foothills for its next lucky owner.
