A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of living history. Hidden Paradise is a former campground and recreation site nestled beneath a canopy of mature hardwood and pine in the heart of Abita Springs — a community long celebrated for its healing mineral springs and small-town charm.
The land tells its own story: two free-flowing artesian wells, a large in-ground swimming pool still holding water, a kitchen and dining hall, a small residence (~1,100 SF, circa 1955), and a network of wooded trails recently cleared for access. Structures are offered as-is and in varying condition.
The possibilities are vast — a sprawling retreat or camping operation, a private compound, an event venue, or a conservation project. The property may be eligible for historic preservation grants and National Register consideration. Minutes from downtown Abita Springs, the Tammany Trace, Abita Brewing Company, and I-12. Acreage to be confirmed by survey. Zoning verification recommended for commercial concepts.
