38963 LA-23, Buras, LA 70041 For Sale

Property Summary

±37-acre facility developed as a state-of-the-art heliport in 1999. Situated along Highway 23 near Venice, Louisiana, the property provides direct access to offshore operations in the Gulf of America and industrial activity along the Mississippi River corridor. It is located just minutes from Venice Port, a key staging point for offshore energy, marine logistics, and commercial fishing operations.

Facilities (Office/Terminal & Warehouse/Hangar)

The improvements total 22,735 SF, consisting of 15,730 SF of office/terminal space and 7,005 SF of Class S warehouse space. The office and terminal area includes training rooms, offices, conference rooms, flex spaces, passenger areas, kitchen, bathrooms, and showers. A control tower provides operational oversight for aviation activities. The hangar features telescoping doors providing wide clearance space for large equipment and materials and is equipped with three cranes (two 2-ton and one 8-ton) capable of supporting equipment handling and maintenance operations. A backup generator is also present on site, though it is currently disconnected. The office/terminal roof was replaced following Hurricane Ida (2021), while the hangar roof was repaired at the same time.

Aviation Infrastructure

The property includes aviation infrastructure designed to support helicopter operations, including concrete flyways located along both sides of the site and a dedicated aircraft parking area. The aircraft parking area is equipped with electrical, water, and fuel connections, enabling efficient aircraft staging and servicing. Subsurface lighting supports nighttime aviation activity in the aircraft area (rear of the property), while above-ground light poles illuminate vehicle parking and support areas. The site provides extensive vehicle parking, and portion of the property is fenced.

Flexibility & Expansion Potential

With its combination of office and warehouse facilities, aviation infrastructure, and 37 acres of land, the property offers significant flexibility for continued heliport operations, other aviation-related uses, or alternative industrial purposes. Existing infrastructure including aircraft flyways, utility connections, cranes, telescoping hangar doors, and large stabilized parking areas provides a functional platform for aviation, logistics, or industrial users seeking a ready-to-operate base in Plaquemines Parish, or for owners looking to repurpose the site for complementary commercial or operational uses.
