Property Description

A Once-in-a-Century Opportunity on the Shores of Mobile Bay. For the first time in over 90 years, one of Battles Wharf’s most iconic bayfront estates is being offered for sale—a truly rare and remarkable property steeped in history, charm, and coastal beauty. Tucked beneath a canopy of ancient oaks, this nearly 3-acre estate spans an impressive 180 feet along the bountiful waters of Mobile Bay. At its heart are two historic cottages, both built in 1903, originally serving as guest homes for one of Fairhope’s original waterfront hotel, a cornerstone of the area’s early resort era. Thoughtfully updated over time, each home remains a graceful tribute to classic coastal architecture, with timeless details and the warmth of generations past. The south parcel encompasses 2.43 acres and features a 3-bedroom, 1-bath cottage with soaring 12+ foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, a cozy den, and a large screened-in porch perfect for enjoying golden-hour breezes. The home offers approximately 2,454 square feet and sits on 80 feet of bay frontage, complete with a private pier, boathouse, boat lift, and bulkhead—ideal for sunset cruises or casting a line just steps from your porch.Just to the north, the .57-acre parcel offers 100 feet of additional bay frontage and a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage with approximately 2,500 square feet. This home features a spacious, climate-controlled sunroom with a wet bar, ideal for entertaining, along with original hardwood floors and bright, airy living spaces that capture the relaxed rhythm of life on the bay. Whether you're envisioning a multi-generational family retreat, a private compound, or a place to pass down through the decades, this offering is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a true piece of Battles Wharf history. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
