It’s time for you to drop anchor, and start building a new life, new home, and new memories. These 3.2 glorious acres on the wide part of Dog River are screaming your name. A Greek philosopher once said that no man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man. Rest assured that you will never be the same after experiencing life on THE river. Everyday will be a newness that cannot be found anywhere else: curious manatees; friendly neighbors; stunning sunsets; instant dinners caught in your crab traps and on your fishing poles; heavenly star filled night skies; joyous laughter of passersby on motor boats and sail boats; etc. You will find delicious eating just a boat ride across the River at The Mariner and fun times will be had sitting out on the dock of The River Shack listening to live music and enjoying a juicy burger. You might want to join The Mobile Yacht Club where you can enjoy fine dining with several local Boaters. This property is all high and dry with no marsh on it, just 200 feet along the wide part of Dog River that is full of live oaks, magnolias, and other hardwoods that create a glorious canopy of privacy along with a shell driveway. If you want a place to build your new home that will provide breathtaking water views, then Latitude 30.579630 Longitude -88.097530 is the property you need to see. Call for your personal tour of the grounds, and bring your camera, you never know what migratory birds you might spot! Property consists of two parcels - key #'s 1044042 and 1043757.
