Welcome to one of the Eastern Shore’s most extraordinary estates, offering 187 feet of direct Mobile Bay frontage on 4.3 serene acres. Originally built in 1850 by Captain James J. Adams, this gracious raised cottage exudes Greek Revival elegance with 12+ ft ceilings, original heart pine floors, and four jib doors that open onto an expansive front porch, capturing breathtaking sunsets and cool bay breezes.
The property includes two charming guest cottages, each with two rooms, a central fireplace, kitchen, and bath—historically believed to be the original detached kitchens. A beautifully designed courtyard surrounds the oversized pool crafted by famed designer Fritz von Osthoff, creating a luxurious yet relaxed outdoor living space under majestic oaks.
Inside, the main level features a grand primary suite with oversized bath, formal living and dining rooms, a butler’s kitchen, and private office. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, while the lower level offers a large open-concept kitchen with gas stove, brick floors, wood-burning fireplace, and an additional en-suite bedroom.
This rare bayfront haven blends historic integrity with timeless Southern living, offering wide porches, panoramic views, and endless potential. Sold As Is—ready for its next steward to continue its legacy.
