Property Description
Welcome to 8253 State Highway 180-a custom-built bayfront retreat tucked into the dunes of Fort Morgan and offered for sale for the first time ever. Originally constructed in 1989, this timeless home sits perfectly on a 50-foot-wide lot with direct frontage on Bon Secour Bay, offering sweeping views across Mobile Bay and beyond. Set in a serene and private location, it's surrounded by mature greenery and offers uninterrupted water views from the elevated screened porch-a true outdoor living room you'll never want to leave. Inside, a bright and welcoming interior complements the natural surroundings, with water views from the living room, kitchen, dining area, and primary bedroom. The home retains its original charm-featuring heart pine floors, a vaulted ceiling, and double sliding glass doors-while also benefiting from thoughtful modern upgrades. Recent improvements include a central HVAC system (2019), new siding and exterior paint, a 2022 metal roof, a rebuilt pier and boathouse, a reinforced seawall, all new windows and doors, and a stacked washer/dryer. With no HOA and a State Highway 180 address, you will enjoy full creative and investment freedom with this outstanding property that is being sold FULLY FURNISHED. This home has never been rented in it's 36 years of existence, but holds massive rental potential. On the Gulf side, you can enjoy over half a mile of protected Alabama State Beach, all within walking distance. This is more than a bay home-it's a rare chance to own a piece of classic coastal Alabama. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
