New Orleans Bayou Escape

Escape to the peaceful banks of Bayou Barataria, overlooking Lake Salvador and the Intracoastal Waterway. Enjoy the best view in Lafitte just 30 mins from NOLA! Relax in our 3+ ac private sanctuary with 300 yr old oaks that were once part of a plantation. Relax on the swing bed, take a outdoor shower, walk the nature trails, fish on your own or with the best charters, take a swamp tour, eat exquisite meals in NOLA...return to cocktails on the dock to watch sunset, bald eagles, and egrets. The space The spacious 2br/2 ba guest house is on the 2nd and 3rd levels of the home with a large patio and outdoor kitchen on the base floor. The new home tastefully incorporates salvaged materials and many antiques. The large screened in porch has tea lighting for calming nights on the queen size bed swing listening to the sound of cicadas. The office is perfectly set up for remote working with extra monitors. Alligators can be seen from the dock but cannot access property because of a levee wall that bounds the property. If you have children please see our adjacent listing "New Orleans Bayou Retreat" that is perfectly set up for families.

Guests do not have access to the garage. We own 3+acres of a larger 10 acre natural area creating the feeling of a private nature preserve. There is plenty of parking for boat trailers etc. "New Orleans Bayou Retreat" is also located on the 3 acres and share the yard and dock. Other things to note A 30 x 50 ft entertainment area over the water, and dock were recently constructed where you can tie boats. Occasionally the bayou does have a lot water hyacinths and floating vegetation.
