ake a look around the North West corner of Lake and Sallier, and it is easy to see that the 3.8 acres offered here is a prime piece of real estate, ripe for development. Conceptual photos are provided to illustrate possibilities to achieve highest and best use of this property that is directly across Barbe Street from Old Barbe Woods.

Wetland's determination, completed mitigation, and Corp approval for adding fill has already been obtained. This, plus recent improvments, all make this valuble corner practically "shovel ready!" And, owner financing is available.

Because all of the 208' of frontage on Lake Street and 320' of the frontage on W. Sallier is zoned "mixed use", a combination of professional office and residential development is suggested to developers. The combination of this zoning and the location makes this corner section of this property ideal for medical or other professional offices. For your convenience, we provide a link to the zoning map of Lake Charles. Learn more about the mixed use category by visiting pages 58-63 of the City of Lake Charles Zoning Ordinance.

While the entire parcel is available (MLS# 108286), the owners have agreed to offer the residential and commercial portions separately. More information about the commercial portion is available through your REALTOR at MLS #109380.

Information about the residential-only section that runs along Sallier and Barbe is availabe through your REALTOR at MLS #109384.

Subject to rezoning, the westernmost portion of the property on West Sallier would be ideal for traditional homes, townhouses or patio homes for those who live, work, and appreciate the amenities offered in living near the lake and downtown.

In fitting with the residential nature to the immediate north, traditional homes are suggested along the 261 feet of Barbe Street.
