Fish River Bungalow with Deeded Waterfront Access
15730 County Road 9 is a classic 1953 cottage nestled on a half-acre lot shaded by beautiful oak trees in the heart of Baldwin County. Full of character and potential, this property is a rare opportunity for buyers looking to restore a piece of Alabama coastal history.
The cottage features a welcoming front porch, a cozy fireplace, and a metal roof. With 1,092 square feet of living space, the bones are solid and the charm is undeniable — with plenty of room for expansion.
What makes this property an exceptional value is the deeded access to a gated waterfront park and fishing pier on Fish River — a beloved Baldwin County gem known for its natural beauty, fishing, and recreation. In the South Marlow subdivision, you enjoy all the benefits of waterfront living without the waterfront price tag or HOA dues.
Whether you're an investor, a weekend retreater, or someone dreaming of a restored cottage to call home, this property checks every box. Opportunities like this — with mature oaks, old-school character, and Fish River access — at this price point - simply don't come around often. More photos coming soon!
