An old, run down Plantation House is the location of the finale of the Swamp Fever campaign in Left 4 Dead 2.

History
An old three-story 19th-Century plantation house is located at the edge of the swamp on the outer edge of Village En Marais. Southern plantations were generally self-sufficient settlements that relied on the forced labor of slaves. However, few plantation structures have survived into the more modern day era, with the vast majority destroyed through natural disaster, neglect, or fire over the centuries (in this case the Green Flu epidemic). It seems though the house was going through some major renovation at the time however it was never completed. The house features the traditional large front courtyard, a large garden and backyard, and a boat docking area.

Current Status
One of the last surviving outposts in the South East, the plantation house seemed to have been the final hold out for survivors of the Green Flu virus. Declining the aid of CEDA and the Military, it seems that they held out longest against the infection (as stated in the graffiti). The site was used for evacuating the surviving residents of Village En Marais and the area around Earl's Gator Village as there is an additional boat docking area to make it easier for survivors to board the boats and a defensive perimeter set up around the site. Since the house was undergoing renovations at the time, it is somewhat easier to access different parts of the house due to multiple scaffoldings and wooden planks put in place.

The Survivors leave Village En Marais in search for a way out of the swamp via the plantation house. They arrive through the front courtyard and use the scaffolding to get into the house on the second floor. Once inside, they search the house for supplies, weapons, and ammo; once they have re-stocked, they head out back towards the gardens. Near the boat docks is a big wooden gate that prevents the Survivors from continuing on however, a radio left beside the barrier. They contact a lone Cajun survivor named Virgil who happens to have a boat and looking for survivors. The survivors have to hold out while fighting hordes of infected and Tanks until they are finally rescued by Virgil and his boat.
