Very Rare dual-waterfront opportunity in Orange Beach! Properties in Baldwin County that offer both bay frontage and canal access are extremely uncommon, especially with such a high elevation, making 5423 Hickory Lane a truly exceptional find. Zoning allows 1 or 2 homesites to be constructed on the lot, by right. As per the County topo lines (picture in other documents) the lot has an elevation as high as 15 feet. This large, premium homesite backs directly to the tranquil waters of Arnica Bay, looking north to Pirate's Cove, deep-water access, and beautiful natural surroundings. The front of the property sits on a canal just three lots from the bay, providing quick and convenient access for boating, fishing, and exploring the surrounding waterways. Perched on a natural high dune and shaded by a canopy of mature Live Oak trees, the property offers both elevation and privacy—two highly desirable features along the Gulf Coast. The lush tree cover creates a peaceful, secluded setting while maintaining close proximity to Orange Beach’s white-sand beaches, marinas, restaurants, and entertainment. Whether you’re looking to build a private waterfront residence or a coastal retreat, this rare bay-to-canal property offers the ideal combination of location, water access, and natural beauty in one of the most sought-after areas on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Bay La Launch Estates includes a Voluntary HOA for $150.00 per year, enjoy the community boat launch and waterfront park on Arnica Bay. There are 2 homes currently on the property to convey at no value, sold as-is, where-is. As per the City of Orange Beach, 2 detached single-family dwellings are allowed by right, the 2 structures must meet all setback and building separation requirements. There is an older pier on Arnica Bay that needs repair, and the canal side also has a pier in need of repair. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
