A forty-eight-acre Louisiana horseman's retreat, offered to the market for the first time in a generation.
543 Elmus Paul Road · Pineville · Rapides Parish · Louisiana
Set behind a gated drive and a canopy of mature oaks, the Tucker Estate is the rare Central Louisiana offering that arrives fully composed — a custom brick residence, a professional-grade equestrian facility, an in-ground pool, and more than forty-eight acres of pasture and hardwood woodland, held together by a sense of calm that only a property kept with great care can possess.
Inside, the residence is finished with the quiet confidence of a home built to last. Deep mahogany millwork frames every doorway; coffered and tray ceilings crown the principal rooms; wide-plank hardwoods run through the living areas, and the kitchen opens generously to both the game room and the stone-floored keeping spaces. The formal dining room rises beneath a two-story arched window. The primary suite carries its own fireplace and a private outlook onto the pool.
Outdoors, the scale of the property reveals itself. Pasture gives way to mature hardwoods; the barn — cupola-topped and purpose-built — anchors a compound suited for breeding, training, or the quiet pleasure of keeping one's own horses at home. A whole-home generator stands ready for the occasional Louisiana weather.
A Captain in the United States Army, later a Major in the Mississippi National Guard.
A man who spent more than fifty years in the natural gas and pipeline industry — helping build the backbone of the communities he believed in.
A horseman through and through — riding, competing, and qualifying for the AQHA Run for the Million at seventy-three years old.
— The Home of Thomas Elmer Tucker
The estate lies in Rapides Parish, minutes from the heart of Pineville and Alexandria and the full conveniences of Central Louisiana — shopping, medical, schools, and the regional highway network — yet entirely removed in feeling. This corner of the parish has long been associated with horses, hardwood, and water, and the land here carries all three. The result is privacy without isolation, and space without distance.
