Most every city has an extra special area, but not every city offers something like this land for sale on Shell Beach Drive in Lake Charles, LA.

And, even in Lake Charles, the availability of water frontage land for sale on Shell Beach Drive is a rarity.

In the Lake Area, practically everyone endulges in a holiday drive to take in the Christmas lighting. A tour of this area is often placed on the agenda when friends or family visit and for leisurely Sunday drives.

Whether driving or walking along this tree-shaded stretch, I suspect that locals and out-of-town visitors experience that certain sense of calm that goes along with admiring the wharfs and boat houses along the riparian side of Shell Beach.This particular water frontage land for sale includes over 4 acres of  beauty and history dating back to the original Barthelemy LeBlue claim.

Southwest Louisiana boasts several such areas.  The new Prien Lake Park and Sam Houston Park come to mind as does the historic districts of Margaret Place and the Charpentier District. But my bet is that driving along the Lake on Shell Beach Drive in Lake Charles is one of the most frequently enjoyed. Many have wondered if a sign offering this particular water frontage land for sale would ever be posted.

With scarcity of land along the Lake, a golden opportunity exists.  While lots 4 and 5 of the Barbe Lakefront Partition can be purchased separately, the greater value (and opportunity) lies in purchasing Lot 3B, 4, and 5 as one sale, consisting of over 4 acres! 

With approximately 219' of riparian rights, a total of 359 feet along Shell Beach Drive, and depths of 515-520', this  water frontage land for sale offers potential for several homes or as a beautiful estate lot.
