About this home
Hidden acreage in the heart of Ocean Springs! You could live here your whole life and never know this little gem exists just off the beaten path. At 12 Zettel Road, you'll find a 4.83-acre wooded sanctuary with mature oaks, fragrant white camellias, pockets of open ground, and exceptional privacy.... Picture a Saturday in Ocean Springs. Start with coffee on the porch, take an afternoon bike ride to East Beach, then take a stroll along Washington Avenue before dinner, drinks, and live music downtown. These restaurants, galleries, and local shops are all just a short drive away.... THE Tato-Nut is literally just 3 miles from the property - and yes, I checked the doughnut mileage. If you've had their donuts, then you get it. But back to that first cup of coffee... you might get halfway through it and decide you're staying put (why would you want to leave your personal paradise?) Picture a quaint cottage or a sprawling estate tucked among the oaks, with garden paths and room for a pool or an outdoor kitchen. Fire up the grill, tailgate with family and friends, and enjoy a little football (enjoyment not guaranteed, especially if the Saints are playing!). If you've ever thought about living closer to family, this could also be a great opportunity to explore a multigenerational retreat. Think separate homes, paths between them, and Sunday lunch just a short walk away, and do pay a visit to the neighboring and quaint little subdivision of Heron Park Place for inspiration! As always, plans for additional homes would be subject to applicable City of Ocean Springs requirements and approvals. And speaking of the City of OS, several of Ocean Springs award winning public schools are also a short drive or ride away (1 to 3 miles!) The district ranked third statewide in Mississippi's 2025-26 accountability results and earned its 13th consecutive yearly A rating. There are also some wonderful private and specialty school options in town (and in neighboring Biloxi and Pascagoula) to consider....
Builders and investors, I can practically see the wheels turning. There's room here to explore whether the property could be divided into multiple residential lots, subject to buyer due diligence and applicable City of Ocean Springs requirements and approvals. According to the seller, who grew up on the property, parts of the land reach about 20 feet in elevation, and the property stayed dry during Hurricanes Camille and Katrina. The seller also noted several natural openings in the woods where a home could be tucked among the trees, with room to consider a driveway along the edge of the property. There is a house (circa 1947), a well and workshop with power on the property, however this listing is being offered for land value only, with no value assigned to the house, workshop, or any other structures. All structures convey as-is. Whether or not they are removed or renovated will be up to the next owner's imagination (and applicable city permitting.)
SO, if you missed this one the first time around, it's back on the market (previous contract was canceled due to buyer financing with no fault on seller side) and won't be around long. So call up your favorite Realtor and head over for a visit. Be sure to give yourself a little time to walk it. You might start picking out the trees you'd build around or picturing how a few homes could fit among them. Either way, stay long enough to see where the light comes through.... you just might find the perfect spot for your morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or whatever you want to fill that cup with as you sit and enjoy the peace and comfort of your beautiful surroundings....
