About The Waterfront Sanctuary

Summer is right around the corner and this is a fun time for us.  The sleeping swamp awakes with new growth.  Bald cypress trees, covered with Spanish moss, sway in the wind and boaters comes to life.  However, this is just the back drop for what will become another highly attended season of watersports.

I’ve lived on the Diversion Canal since 1999. As each year passes, the lot selections dwindle and eventually there will be nothing but home resales.  If you are planning to build your dream home and retiring on the river, you may want to reserve your spot soon.  If a developer can find a decent piece of land on the river, they still can’t afford the sky rocketing costs to develop waterfront property without passing that onto the consumer and the selections are limited.

However, there are still some affordable options. But, if you are looking at the ultimate in a riverfront community, while still staying central to New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Northshore Lake then check out the Amite Diversion waterway.  If you are looking for somewhere special and willing to pay, the Waterfront Sanctuary still has lots left but not for long.
