The first image indicates the proposed configuration of the 10 acre tract which is a combination of a portion of Lot 3 of the Barbe Lakefront Partition, Lot 6 of the Barbe Lakefront Partition, and a portion of the Old Barbe Woods.  The depth within Old Barbe Woods is negotiable.

The approximate measurements of the 10 acre parcel are as follows:

  • 920' Western Boundary
  • 1025' Northern Boundary
  • 357' Easternmost Boundary
  • 336' Southern Boundary

10 acre parcel plus two other offeringsThe second image combines the 10 acre parcel with two other listings that are available via separate owners. The parcel in the center, Lot 5 of the Barbe Lakefront Partition, is approximately 2.44 acres and incudes an existing road ROW for the first 175 feet. The ROW could easily be extended.

This link leads to a Google Map of this and the two other properties that are also for sale. The map indicates the locational advantages due to the property's proximity to downtown Lake Charles, the hospital and medical community, Interstate 10 and Interstate 210.

The site offers an estate-like setting for a single residence and is large enough to accommodate multiple lots.

Another consideration that should appeal to developers is the availability of a 10-acre m/l parcel to the West and North of this property. This link leads to information about both listings by Mary Kay Hopkins, LLC plus a 3rd property with riparian rights.

  • 3 lots -118 x 236 each
  • 4 lots  - 88 x 236 each
