Property Description

Rare waterfront opportunity in the heart of Irish Bayou! This exceptional offering includes four direct waterfront lots on the bayou, giving buyers, investors, and developers unmatched flexibility in one of Louisiana's most scenic locations. Each lot features 50 ft of frontage. Build on a single lot or combine them for a 100-ft (2 lots) or 200-ft (4 lots) footprint, ideal for a grand custom home, a private family compound, or multiple residences for resale or rental income. Renderings depict two stunning homes, each on a combined 100-ft footprint, giving you a clear vision of the property's potential. All four lots offer direct access to Lake Pontchartrain, opening the door to endless boating, fishing, and crabbing right from your own property, with the potential to add a private dock (subject to permitting). Nestled alongside the Bayou Sauvage Urban National Wildlife Refuge, the largest urban wildlife refuge in the United States, this property offers breathtaking natural beauty and a peaceful, private setting that is increasingly rare this close to the city. The refuge spans 23,000 acres of fresh and brackish marsh and is home to over 340 bird species, including bald eagles and brown pelicans, plus alligators right in your backyard. Perfectly positioned just minutes from New Orleans, the property also sits near the planned Bayou Phoenix development at the former Six Flags New Orleans site, a multi-phase mixed-use destination set to feature entertainment, sports, hospitality, and film production, signaling strong potential for future growth in the area. Whether you're envisioning a private waterfront retreat, a smart investment, or a legacy property for generations to come, this is your opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind piece of Louisiana waterfront.
