    What's special

    Professionally refreshed landscaping
    One-of-a-Kind Waterfront Estate on Bear Creek — 300+ Feet of Private Shoreline Rarely does a property of this caliber come to market. Set on three spacious lots along Bear Creek with direct access to Oyster Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway, this extraordinary 4,810-square-foot estate offers over 300 feet of private water frontage — a setting simply unmatched in Gulf Shores.From the moment you arrive, the cedar exterior with brick accents signals something special. Step inside and the great room takes your breath away: soaring 23-foot cedar ceilings flood the space with light and grandeur that is both dramatic and warmly inviting — equally suited to entertaining a crowd or savoring a quiet evening.The 2024 kitchen refresh brought painted cabinetry and a full suite of new appliances — oven, microwave, warming drawer, refrigerator, and automatic icemaker — plus dual dishwashers for effortless entertaining. Three new HVAC systems installed in 2024 ensure year-round comfort throughout.Outside, the 2025 improvements are equally impressive. A brand-new boathouse with a 10,000-pound lift and pier puts you on the water instantly — cruise to Oyster Bay or venture to the Gulf in minutes. Professionally refreshed landscaping frames the property beautifully, a new pool pump keeps the resort-style pool ready, and outdoor gas and electric connections lay the groundwork for your dream outdoor kitchen.A three-car garage plus porte cochere provides abundant parking and storage, with the beach, ball fields, and recreation center just minutes away.Properties like this simply do not repeat themselves — a true waterfront legacy home, meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, ready for its next chapter. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
