Louisiana land real estate

Louisiana land overview

The Pelican State is well-known for its rich history and culture, but land in Louisiana is equally unique and fascinating. A large portion of the state was formed by the massive amounts of sediment washed down by the Mississippi River. Unfortunately, Louisiana’s southern coast is losing land at an alarming rate, as it is one of the most rapidly-eroding areas in the world. There are essentially 2 Louisianas—the northern uplands, consisting of hills, prairie, and woodlands, and the alluvial plains in the South, made up of marshlands, swampland, beaches, and barrier islands. Not only is southern Louisiana the center of the bayou, but it's also home to some excellent recreational property, including hunting land, rural acreage, and fishing properties. It earned the nickname "Hollywood South," partly due to the fact that film-makers think its mystical and mysterious landscapes make great settings for movies.
