A Once-in-a-Century Opportunity on the Shores of Mobile Bay. For the first time in over 90 years, one of Battles Wharf’s most iconic bayfront estates is being offered for sale—a truly rare and remarkable property steeped in history, charm, and coastal beauty.

The south parcel encompasses 2.43 acres and features a 3-bedroom, 1-bath cottage with soaring 12+ foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, a cozy den, and a large screened-in porch perfect for enjoying golden-hour breezes.
