Overview
Historic Alligator Bayou property offering a rare opportunity to acquire a significant tract of land in the Spanish Lake/Alligator Bayou area of Ascension and Iberville Parishes. Once home to the well-known Alligator Bayou Swamp Tours, this unique property has a long history as a regional destination and offers exceptional potential for conservation, recreation, tourism, education, environmental research, mitigation, or other compatible uses. The property features extensive natural habitat, wetlands, waterways, and wildlife and is located within an area recognized for its ecological and cultural significance.
With more than 300 acres potentially available through the various tracts being marketed, the property provides an opportunity to preserve and potentially reactivate an important piece of South Louisiana history. Previous uses brought school field trips, tourists, community events, and visitors from throughout the region to experience the area's natural environment. The reopening and restoration of area waterways creates additional possibilities for the future of the property. Potential uses could include nature trails, wildlife and conservation programs, outdoor recreation, educational facilities, research programs, ecotourism, camping, or a public/private conservation initiative. Additional information regarding individual tracts, existing improvements, mitigation opportunities, and ownership structure is available upon request.
Additional adjoining land may also be available upon request, creating the potential for a significantly larger acquisition. The property also includes substantial additional value through existing mitigation credits, currently estimated at nearly $1 million. Mitigation credit availability, value, and transferability are subject to verification.
