The house at Mary Plantation began life in the late 18th century as a two story hip roof plantation house with brick construction below and brick-between-posts construction above. About 1840 a larger hip roof was built which provided for the spacious galleries on all four sides of this stunning and gracious Creole home overlooking the Mississippi River one half hour south of New Orleans. Otherwise little has changed. Mary had been first recorded on early maps in 1723 as a sugar plantation of several thousand acres. The centuries and the few owners of this recognized classic and architecturally significant Louisiana landmark have been very kind to it. The current owners recently sponsored an extensive and well documented restoration program of the interior plaster while preserving the integrity of the historic construction and adding appropriate and convenient amenities. Today this very livable and comfortable home is available with a charming guest house and over seven acres of exotic and lush tropical gardens.
