10945 Ferry Lake Road, Oil City, LA 71061

Welcome to 10945 Ferry Lake Road, where vaulted ceilings, knotty pine walls, and glass doors that open straight onto Caddo Lake. The great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace under exposed beams and a cathedral ceiling. The chef's kitchen has the granite island your friends will fight over. The primary bath has a soaking tub with a window overlooking the cypress canopy. Basically a daily spa with no copay.

A walk-out lower level rolls onto a manicured lawn, mature cypress trees, and a private walkway to the water. Detached shop and plenty of parking for the boat, RV, and the in-laws (in that order). Caddo Lake is one of America's most storied wild waters; ancient cypress, Spanish moss, trophy bass, and the rare kind of quiet you can't buy in a city. The bass don't respect property lines. The neighbors, mostly cypress trees, are famously non-confrontational. Bring the boat, the books, and anyone you love. The alarm clock can stay home.
