The Bocage Plantation in Louisiana was one of the first major plantation homes we covered on Luxist way back in January of 2005. Now the antebellum home, which is located along the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans is back on the market for the same $5.5 million list price. The property had been taken off the market for a while but they are now pitching the home to buyers from Baton Rouge or New Orleans. The home and the 110 acres surrounding it will be sold as one package which could be turned into a small development. The home has quite a history it was built in 1801 by Emanuel Marius Pons Bringier, a successful planter, as a wedding present for his 14 year old daughter, Francoise and her husband Christoph Colomb, a French relative of Christopher Columbus. You can check out the gorgeous interior at the Bocage website.
