Holy shit OP, you're underselling it with that pic.

I'm pretty creative at thinking on land use, no idea what to do with NINE linear acres.

Well, it's Louisiana, plenty easy to grow shit. Fence and forest it, hunk a bunch of chickens and rabbits out there? Sprinkle in a couple of tiny ponds? Setup a poker shack out in the woodsy area? The mind boggles.

"Honey? Can you grab some peppers out the garden?"

"Aw hell Mabel, those sonsofbitches are a half-mile deep and we ain't got 4-wheeler gas."

EDIT: Can't stop looking at this. 7680', 1.5 miles long and 58' wide. You would have to have a 4-wheeler to get any work done out there.

3.7 hectare and 2.4km long while less than 18m wide. That is insane. But it got sold.

You are missing the perfect opportunity for a small guage miniature train line. Just big enough that you can sit on it and drag a few supplies the length of the back yard.

That sounds amazing. Now I want the house...

I want to know how this even got platted.

I think the other commenter comparing this to the Quebec/French system of land division has it right. From satellite view, you can see the distinct shape of narrow strip lots perpendicular to the flow of the Bayou Lafourche. In the distant past, waterway access then was the equivalent of truck access from the Interstate freeways today: paramount for getting goods to market.

That's what I'm screaming! There must be some weird history behind all this. I'm sure it was a wider lot in the past, but who split it lengthwise? And by 52'?!

Siblings who all wanted road access on a property divided by inheritance.

My siblings and I are trying to avoid a similar situation.

Shit, I'd gladly take one without road access.

A very long lap pool. Then use the building work to disguise the construction of your underground lair. If you can't build up or sideways, then build down.
