HISTORIC BAYFRONT ESTATE ON 4.3 ACRES WITH GUEST COTTAGES | Few properties along the Eastern Shore can match the beauty, serenity, and historic character of this extraordinary 4.3-acre estate with 187 feet of direct Mobile Bay frontage. Offering spectacular sunsets and timeless Southern charm, this one-of-a-kind property combines history with gracious living. A long private drive leads to the raised Greek Revival-style cottage, originally built in 1850 by Captain James J. Adams. The home’s architecture is a showcase of its era, featuring soaring 12+ foot ceilings, original heart pine floors, and four jib doors across the front that open directly onto the expansive porch, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. Adding to the property’s uniqueness are two historic guest cottages, each with two rooms, a central fireplace, kitchen, bath, and window units. History suggests these structures once served as the estate’s original detached kitchens. The grounds are designed for relaxation and entertaining, centered around a stunning oversized pool crafted by renowned designer Fritz von Osthoff, framed by a beautifully landscaped courtyard. Inside the main residence, each of the three levels has been thoughtfully planned. The main level includes the primary suite with an oversized bath, formal living and dining rooms, a butler’s kitchen, and a private office. Upstairs you’ll find three spacious bedrooms, while the lower level features an open-concept layout with brick floors, a wood-burning fireplace, a large kitchen with a gas stove, and an additional en-suite bedroom. With its wide porches, majestic oaks, guest cottages, and sweeping bay views, this estate captures the grace and grandeur of true Southern living. Property is being sold “As Is.” Please see attached documentation. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
