The McEnery Company is proud to present The Mary Plantation—an iconic Mississippi River estate and one of Louisiana’s most historic and architecturally significant properties. Located in Plaquemines Parish just 20 miles from downtown New Orleans, this landmark dates back to the late 18th century and is recognized as the oldest home in the parish. Reconstructed in the 1820s, the main house reflects classic French Creole design and offers approximately 7,475 square feet, including 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 3,961 square feet of grand porches and patio areas.
Set on a serene riverfront site with mature live oaks and manicured surroundings, the estate includes two additional residences: a 1,764-square-foot upriver guest house with garden views (1 bed/1 bath, ADA accessible) and a 1,905-square-foot downriver home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a two-bay metal building for equipment and storage. Recent improvements include a new slate roof, exterior paint, updated electrical systems, stone installations, third-floor dormer windows, and extensive landscape lighting. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and eligible for both State and Federal Historic Tax Credits, Mary Plantation presents a unique opportunity for private ownership or adaptive reuse as a boutique venue, cultural retreat, or heritage destination.
