When nature and fishing are your things, you can’t beat life in Barataria.

Living at 4990 Joan Marie

Currently used as a fishing camp and for short-term rental income, Barataria is also called home year-round by plenty of outdoor lovers.

Sitting right on the bayou, 4990 Joan Marie Drive has an oversized and open living, dining, and kitchen area, with a second-floor porch overlooking the water. An elevator makes it super easy to get those groceries right into the kitchen or give your legs a rest after a long day of skiing, fishing, or just puttering around on the boat.

The kitchen includes access to an interior laundry room (washer + dryer included!) and a pantry, along with a full suite of appliances. Crisp white cabinets are the backdrop for the electric range/oven, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. There’s plenty of room for a dining table and chairs and loads of windows for natural light.

A total of 4 bedrooms, each with good closet storage space and easy access to the 2 full bathrooms, means a place for everyone.

This is the reason that people call the Barataria community home. Sit on the second-floor porch and take in the uniquely south Louisiana view. Pull up your watercraft and use the boat lift (with a new motor) to drop it into the water. Park your RV and bring all of the outdoor furniture you have. The rear of the first floor has a huge covered space for shade, BBQs, and crawfish boils. The front of the first floor has 2 garage parking spaces plus 2 storage areas that can be accessed from the backyard.
