Commissary Point stands out as one of the finest recreational properties on the Gulf Coast, offering exceptional outdoor opportunities throughout the year. Positioned on the east bank of Lake Calcasieu in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, the property combines world-class waterfowl hunting, saltwater fishing, and wildlife viewing, making it a true sportsman’s retreat. The location is both remote and accessible—just minutes south of Lake Charles, about 1.5 hours from Lafayette, and only 2.5 hours from Houston, with direct air access via the Lake Charles Regional Airport from major hubs like Dallas and Houston.
This is a destination for serious waterfowlers. Located at the western edge of the Mississippi Flyway, Commissary Point lies in a dense region of migratory bird habitat. The ranch is highly developed for duck management with a system of canals, water control gates, and levees, allowing the owner to create ideal marsh and prairie conditions. Two adjacent impoundments comprise roughly 275± acres of brackish marsh and 420± acres of sweeter, grassy marsh. Another 570± acres of shallow-flooded coastal prairie—managed with relift pumps—offers excellent pintail and greenhead habitat. An additional 340± acres of grazeable upland could be converted to goose habitat or seeded with crops like rye or oats.
Beyond ducks—gadwall, widgeon, teal, spoonies, divers, and the occasional black duck—white-fronted geese (speckle bellies) are also frequently harvested here. This property also offers opportunities for big game, including white-tailed deer, wild hogs, and even bullfrogs for a nostalgic touch of Southern outdoor fun. Fishing here is just as impressive. Lake Calcasieu is renowned among anglers for its speckled trout, redfish, and flounder. You can cast from the shore or the pier, fish by boat, or simply drop a line for blue crabs at the marsh’s edge. The property’s pier is outfitted with fishing lights, drawing in trout for evening action, while a three-slip boat shed and ramp make marsh access convenient and secure.
Birdwatchers will find Commissary Point a year-round spectacle. The biodiversity is remarkable, from wintering shorebirds and migratory waterfowl to springtime neotropical songbirds and Louisiana’s own brown pelican. Common sightings include herons, cranes, roseate spoonbills, gallinules, rails, and birds of prey.
At the heart of the property is a well-appointed, elevated lakefront lodge featuring three bedrooms—each with a private bath—and two additional half-baths. A wrap-around porch provides sweeping sunrise views over the marsh and sunset vistas across Lake Calcasieu. Concrete parking sits beneath the home, with additional shoreline protection from bulkhead and riprap enhancements.
Whether you’re an avid hunter, angler, birdwatcher, or someone seeking a private getaway rich with natural abundance, Commissary Point is an unmatched offering in Southwest Louisiana. With extensive water management infrastructure, high-quality improvements, and exceptional access to one of the South’s most celebrated ecosystems, this is a rare chance to own your piece of the Sportsman’s Paradise.
