Hidden in the heart of LaSalle Parish lies a legacy tract so expansive, rich in habitat, infrastructure, and story, this 3,915± acres known as Kitterlin Creek will sell at public auction in August—offering one of Louisiana’s most significant private landholdings to the open market for the first time in decades.
Nearly 4,000 Acres of Lakes, Wildlife, and Legacy Land to Sell at Auction – Kitterlin Creek, Louisiana
JENA, LA — August 28, 2025 at 11:00 AM CST — Hidden in the heart of LaSalle Parish lies a legacy tract so expansive, rich in habitat, infrastructure, and story, this 3,915± acres known as Kitterlin Creek will sell at public auction in August—offering one of Louisiana’s most significant private landholdings to the open market for the first time in decades.
Once public land acquired by the late Homer E. Gahn Jr., this is more than property. It’s a rare convergence of water, timber, and wildlife—a place shaped with vision and care into something that now stands ready for the next chapter.
Where Wildlife and Water Define the Landscape
The property includes over 1,000± acres of lakes and 12 miles of Little River frontage, a designated Louisiana Scenic River. Kitterlin Bay, Lehman & Walker Lake, and Fools River Lake provide prime waterfowl habitat, scenic beauty, and outstanding recreational fishing.
This land is a haven for mallards and wood ducks, and a proven producer of trophy whitetail deer and Eastern wild turkeys. In the lakes, anglers have pulled trophy-size largemouth bass, with consistent action for bream and crappie.
A network of trails, culverts, food plots, 45 deer stands, 11 duck blinds, and 39 feeders is already in place—making the entire tract ready for serious hunting and year-round recreation.
Income-Producing, Turnkey, and Expandable
While scenic and wild, the property is also a working asset. It includes:
• 902 Osage Drive: A 2,498± sq.ft. lodge-style home built in 2016 with panoramic lake views
• RV Park with 45 long-term sites, each with individual meters
• 24 mobile home pad sites
• 29± acre nursery site with major infrastructure (convertible to dove fields or campsite expansion)
• Two tenant homes and one wood-frame cottage
• Large metal shop with office and living quarters
• Private boat ramps to both Kitterlin Bay and Little River
The property generates income through RV site rentals, hunting and fishing memberships, and USDA conservation program payments starting September 2025. And all owned oil and gas minerals will convey.
Preserved for the Future – But Still Yours to Shape
Roughly 2,973± acres are protected under a conservation easement, preserving the natural beauty and ecological value of the land. Recreational use, timber growth, and income-producing operations are still permitted—offering the perfect balance between preservation and performance.
The Kitterlin Creek property was developed and nurtured by Homer E Gahn Jr. for his family, his employees, and members to enjoy. He turned it into more than just a property. It became a legacy of connection and natural beauty.
