Escape the Crowds. This Is What the Alabama Coast Used to Feel Like. Custom-built in 2020 as the builder's personal residence, this single-story Gold Fortified farmhouse on Roberts Bayou was designed for the buyer who wants the water without the traffic — space, peace, and a slower pace of life on 1.03 private acres in a gated community. The numbers tell part of the story: 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 4,085 sq ft, a heated saltwater gunite pool, covered boat lift with 4+ ft water depth, two jet ski lifts, floating dock, 3-car heated and cooled garage, whole-home generator, central vacuum, quartz counters, and two fireplaces. But what you can't put in a feature list is the way the great room draws your eye straight to the water, or the way the screened porch — with its wood-burning fireplace — makes every evening feel unhurried. The kitchen is built for gathering: gas range, double oven, convection oven, wine cooler, breakfast room. The primary suite offers a cast iron tub, separate shower, dual walk-in closets, and a private sitting area. Three additional bedrooms are each en-suites. Outside, the pool and patio flow to your private dock, with deep water access opening directly to the Intracoastal. A full day on the water is always minutes away. This home did not flood during Hurricane Sally. Recent updates include a reworked dock, replaced floating dock, refinished wood floors, and garage heating and cooling. For the buyer who's watched Orange Beach change and wants something different — this is it.The listing agent is a licensed real estate agent in the state of AL and is the seller.
