about stella events & adventures


Stella is situated at the lowermost part of the Mississippi River as it nears the end of its journey through the heart of the country.  Today Stella's fields are used to grow satsuma and navel oranges, kumquats, lemons, grapefruit and pecans.  The diverse 1500 acres that make up Stella feature lush marshes, cypress trees, crawfish ponds and forests home to diverse wildlife.

Passion for preservation

Chalin Perez spent his life repairing and preserving Stella.  He had an inexhaustible love and nostalgia for the region and its beauty. He built a barn upon the foundation of the old sugar mill and antique bricks sheath the house and form the paths that meander through the grounds.
