Located along the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish, this 23.7-acre property offers potential as a primary residence, weekend retreat, or hobby farm. It includes approximately 4 acres and over 500 feet of riverfront. A one-bedroom raised cottage, built in 2018, features modern amenities. The front six acres have been cleared and improved with fencing, while preserving mature trees. The elevated homesite includes a large retention pond, landscaping, and over 400 feet of raised planting beds constructed using the Hugelkultur method. The property features rose bushes and fruit-bearing trees, including banana, kumquat, plum, fig, and apple trees. The rear acreage remains largely natural, with light clearing and simple trails, serving as a habitat for wildlife. Recent upgrades include a new septic system installed within the last year. Utilities include municipal water and electric service. The homesite was elevated more than 5 feet, with the house raised an additional 10 feet, offering reduced flood risk and river views from both porches. A covered veranda with stamped concrete flooring sits beneath the structure. Two 40-foot shipping containers are included for storage. The property is located a 35-minute drive from New Orleans and 2.5 miles from the Belle Chasse ferry terminal. The cottage has a property size of 680 square feet.
