About This Home

As of September 2019

This BAY-FRONT HOME on 135' on BON SECOUR BAY comes with 180 degree water views and the most beautiful sunsets that you can ever imagine. The home is a quaint, older, rustic cottage that was built in the early 1900s (exact age unknown) by one of the original residents of the Ft Morgan Peninsula and has served the current owner and their family as a summer vacation home for many generations. This is the perfect place for someone wanting Bay-Front property and has the vision for what it could be. Set up camp right way as it is, remodel to your vision or remove the cottage and build your dream home on this great water-front lot. The home has 3 BR & 1 1/2 BA and is on well water, has a septic tank, window air conditioners and attic space. There is also an enclosed sun room/ "sleeping porch" on the Bay side and a dining/utility area adjacent to the kitchen. There is a fireplace, but the owner has not used it in years. The property needs a new roof, bulkhead and a pier, but it is in a quite location with Gulf access just a mile 1/2 away. There is a 15' walking easement on the eastern boundary for the two homes to the south of this home and includes an outside storage building that is 10’ 3” X 8’ 3”. There is room for parking on the south side of the lot. Due to the age of the home and the fact that the seller does not live in the home full-time, it is being sold AS IS WHERE IS with no warranties of any kind from the Seller. The Buyer and Buyer's Agent are to verify all measurements and conditions of the property, including the zoning, future building options, allowed uses, availability of utilities, internet, school district, etc. The property is not in the corp limits of Gulf Shores, but is in the Gulf Shores Planning and Police Jurisdictions. It is located in Baldwin County Zoning District 25.
