WATERFRONT! Rare opportunity to own a 1.43-acre waterfront lot in the sought-after Terre Sainte neighborhood, conveniently located near downtown Lake Charles. The property features over 110 feet of frontage on Contraband Bayou with deep-water access, offering an ideal setting for a private dock, boat, jet skis, or other water activities. Enjoy peaceful bayou views, cypress trees, open water, and abundant wildlife. The property has been substantially improved with approximately 800 yards of foundation-quality soil/clay placed and compacted, resulting in an estimated 5-foot increase in elevation. Approximately 1,500 square feet of previously wet area has also been reclaimed. An easement was removed and an adjacent strip acquired, creating a larger and more private homesite. A gravel construction driveway is in place, and soil testing has been completed with a post-tension slab recommended. The spacious lot offers plenty of room for a custom home, pool, pickleball court, and dock. A rare opportunity to build on a large, improved waterfront lot in Terre Sainte. All measurements are more or less.
