A rare opportunity to own a piece of Northshore growing history. This former plant nursery spans multiple acres of established trees and bushes offering a setting that simply cannot be recreated from scratch. The landscape is the heart of this property. Award-winning mature camellias anchor the grounds alongside towering live oaks, sasanquas, azaleas, crepe myrtles, a Japanese maple, an ornamental cherry tree, and stately cypress trees. Edible and useful plantings are woven throughout, including persimmons, blueberry bushes, muscadines, tea plants, lemongrass, and lantana, along with many other Louisiana natives that have thrived here for years. The working infrastructure remains in place and ready to use. Greenhouses, plant shade houses, and large storage sheds provide abundant space for growing, equipment, and projects of every size. Multiple acres are equipped with working irrigation, and a large pond with levee adds both beauty and function to the grounds. The existing home is ready for someone to breathe new life into it, or the property offers an exceptional backdrop to build the dream home you have been envisioning, surrounded by decades of mature growth. Homestead, hobby farm, or private garden retreat! Located in Flood Zone C. NO FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIRED!
