About 646 Fish Hatchery Road
Now offered at a newly reduced price, the circa-1789 Sally Jane Prudhomme Plantation Home invites you to claim a rare and remarkable piece of Louisiana’s storied past. Gracefully poised beneath a canopy of ancient live oaks, this distinguished estate offers endless possibilities—as an elegant private residence, an enchanting wedding venue, a boutique VRBO/Airbnb retreat, or a unique event haven. Set on 3.5+ acres, the property provides ample space to bring any vision to life. The 2,770-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home exudes timeless charm. True to the craftsmanship of its era, the original structure showcases bousillage carefully packed between hand-worked cypress timbers, joined by pegged mortise-and-tenon construction—an exceptional testament to 18th-century artistry. Complementing the historic residence is an impressive collection of newly constructed outbuildings: a 50' x 64' barn, a 50' x 50' side shed, and a 24' x 64' lean-to—all professionally insulated with spray foam. This versatile complex also includes an air-conditioned office/man cave, ideal for vehicle and equipment storage, workshop pursuits, or hosting large family gatherings and traditional Louisiana crawfish boils with protection from the elements. Thoughtful updates elevate the home’s comfort and efficiency while preserving its historic integrity. Recent enhancements include renewed porch decking, restored wrought-iron railing, removal of the handicap ramp, and an extensive property refresh. Modern upgrades abound: whole-house radiant heat beneath new flooring, new energy-efficient windows, a tankless on-demand gas water heater, and a beautifully updated kitchen featuring new cabinetry, quartz countertops, and contemporary appliances. The bathrooms have likewise been reimagined with stylish new fixtures and cabinetry. With its vastly improved list price and a seller eager to make a deal, this historic jewel is poised to welcome its next steward. A rare opportunity awaits.
