Description

Reconnect with nature in this gardener’s paradise! Tucked away behind the main home, this charming studio apartment offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful, community-oriented lifestyle just minutes from the heart of New Orleans. Situated on the Orleans Parish line, this unique property was formerly Edible City Gardens then The Lion’s Nest. With dozens of fruit trees, lush greenery, and a thriving vegetable garden, it is a nature sanctuary and perfect for someone who wants to experience a unique community-style living atmosphere with other residents on the property. This unfurnished studio apartment is one room and one bathroom with a gorgeous fireplace (nonworking) and an outdoor patio area. All utilities are included in the rent, and the home is equipped with a fridge, an electric cooktop, A/C, on-site laundry and off-street parking. Green thumbs are welcome and a rent discount may be considered for garden maintenance. This serene oasis feels worlds away while not far from all that the city has to offer. Enjoy sunset strolls along the levee of the Mississippi River, take a 10-minute walk to the vibrant shops and restaurants of Oak Street, or an 8-minute drive to Audubon Park. If you're seeking a peaceful retreat with character, charm, and abundant outdoor space, but still close to the city, this rare gem is not to be missed. Some photos are virtually staged. No pets allowed. Housing vouchers not accepted. Please contact Tara for questions or showings:504-345-3444.
