Single Family - Detached, Cottage - Braithwaite, LA
Unique opportunity along the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish, offering versatility for use as a primary residence, weekend escape, or hobby farm. The property spans 23.7 acres, including roughly 4 acres and more than 500 feet of riverfront on the batture, along with an inviting one-bedroom raised cottage built in 2018 and outfitted with modern amenities.
The front six acres have been thoughtfully cleared and improved with fencing, while preserving the mature live oak, cypress, and pecan trees. This area features the elevated homesite, a large retention pond, curated landscaping, and more than 400 feet of raised planting beds constructed using the German Hugelkultur method for all-natural biodynamic growing. The property is dotted with flowering rose bushes and an impressive assortment of fruit-bearing trees—ice cream banana, kumquat, Japanese plum, brown turkey and LSU purple fig,...
The front six acres have been thoughtfully cleared and improved with fencing, while preserving the mature live oak, cypress, and pecan trees. This area features the elevated homesite, a large retention pond, curated landscaping, and more than 400 feet of raised planting beds constructed using the German Hugelkultur method for all-natural biodynamic growing. The property is dotted with flowering rose bushes and an impressive assortment of fruit-bearing trees—ice cream banana, kumquat, Japanese plum, brown turkey and LSU purple fig, apple, and more.
The rear acreage remains largely natural, with light clearing and simple trails, and serves as habitat for wild boar, deer, birds, and other native wildlife.
Recent upgrades include a new septic system installed within the last year. Utilities include municipal water and Entergy electric service. The homesite was elevated more than 5 feet, with the house raised an additional 10 feet, offering added peace of mind, reduced flood risk, and river views from both porches. A spacious covered veranda with stamped concrete flooring sits beneath the structure—ideal for taking in the quiet surroundings. Two 40 foot shipping containers are also included for plentiful storage.
All of this is just a comfortable 35-minute drive from New Orleans and only 2.5 miles from the Belle Chasse ferry terminal.
