This 505 acre coastal marsh tract in Iberia Parish, Louisiana, presents a rare opportunity to own a large, private block of South Louisiana marshlanD. Located roughly three miles southeast of Avery Island, the property offers excellent recreational potential within one of Louisiana's historic coastal marsh environments.
The land consists primarily of native marsh grasses and coastal wetlands, creating ideal habitat for various wildlife, including waterfowl, deer, wild hogs, and alligators, making the property attractive for hunting and outdoor recreation.
A canal with high banks and mature trees runs through the property, providing structure for wildlife and potential locations for hunting setups or a camp site. The tract sits between two large landowners, helping create a private and secluded marsh environment with minimal outside pressure.
In addition to its recreational value, the Iberia 505 may present opportunities for wetland conservation, coastal restoration, or environmental mitigation projects, subject to buyer due diligence and applicable regulatory approvals. Large contiguous marsh properties such as this are increasingly sought after for habitat preservation, marsh restoration initiatives, and environmental mitigation efforts along Louisiana's coastal zone.
Currently, the property is accessed by airboat through surrounding marsh and waterways, offering a remote coastal experience. The tract originated from a 1944 family partition, and a legal servitude of passage may be obtainable, subject to buyer verification through title research and legal review.
The land traces its history back to 1885, when it was originally acquired by the current family's ancestors. This historic coastal tract is now being offered on the open market for the first time in generations, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a sizable piece of private South Louisiana marshland.
