Big Branch Waterfront Retreat: Private Dock, Boat Lift, and Outdoor Adventure


Escape to this tranquil 3-bedroom raised home, nestled at the end of a small dead-end road, surrounded by serene marshland—an ideal retreat for nature lovers, offering privacy, adventure, and comfort all in one. Perfectly designed for outdoor enthusiasts, the home features direct water access with a private boat dock and lift, ideal for launching your next fishing or duck hunting trip. There’s even a fish cleaning station downstairs for added convenience after a successful day on the water and an exterior elevator for added accessibility.

Inside, the open floor plan provides a fully stocked kitchen and ample space to unwind after a day of adventure. Relax in the bathtubs or take advantage of the ample storage, including in the garages, making it perfect for longer stays.

Enjoy the peaceful surroundings from the screened porch or stay connected with high-speed internet. With a wheelchair-accessible elevator, this home is well-suited for families or groups seeking both comfort and outdoor excitement.

This property is a hidden gem at the edge of Big Branch, offering serenity, breathtaking marsh views, and easy access to the best hunting and fishing spots in the area.

This Big Branch retreat offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. While you'll enjoy the tranquility of being surrounded by marshland, you're just a short drive away from key destinations. Slidell is only 20 minutes away, offering plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Mandeville, with its charming boutiques and local attractions, is just a 25-minute drive. And if you're looking for a day of excitement, New Orleans is less than an hour away, making it easy to explore the vibrant culture, dining, and nightlife of the city before returning to your peaceful retreat.
