About Sports Afield Trophy Properties

Sports Afield Trophy Properties succeeds Cabela’s Trophy Properties, which began in 2004 as a national listing service for countryside properties.

Like its predecessor, Sports Afield Trophy Properties fills an important void in this particular niche of the real estate market, and it is the original and only trophy property program. Its mission is to connect buyers and sellers of countryside real estate with the brokers in our network.

The SATP network is composed of experienced brokers who are rural real estate specialists and who live, breathe, and understand land, nature, farming, woodland, forest, and outdoor recreational real estate.

Property Type(s):

  • Rural
  • Farms & Land
  • Nature
  • Woodland
  • Forest
  • Outdoor Recreational

Arriving in the USA in 1979, Ludo pursued his education at Marshall Business School, University of Southern California. He is married to Dr. Jacque Neufeld, originally from Cincinnati, and they are proud parents to their son, Rory.

Outside of his professional pursuits, Ludo finds joy in activities such as downhill skiing, hunting, and spectating motorcycle road racing.
