A luxury floating hunting and fishing lodge in southern Louisiana, known as Fowl Play, is now on the market for $5.5 million. Designed for Tony Nelson, the property can be towed into the marsh during duck-hunting season, providing residents and guests with unparalleled access to hunting grounds. The 4,600-square-foot floating lodge sits on two independent spud barges and can accommodate up to 22 people across the main lodge and crew camp.
In spring and summer, the property remains at its base in Port Fourchon, while during duck season, it is parked in a 6,000-acre exclusive hunting lease located about an hour away by boat. The lodge features a commercial-grade kitchen, dining and living areas, bunk and staterooms, and bathrooms with carved vanities and marble sinks.
When not in the marsh, Fowl Play returns to its waterfront base in Port Fourchon, complete with a covered porch, outdoor kitchen, saltwater pool, and four-lift dock for boats. The property offers both hunting and fishing experiences, with access to nearby waters for speckled trout, redfish, and offshore species such as yellowfin tuna and marlin.
While Nelson is selling the unique property as his family's needs change, buyers will find a fully equipped luxury retreat that can literally move with the seasons.
