Welcome to 8253 State Highway 180—a custom-built bayfront retreat tucked into the dunes of Fort Morgan and offered for sale for the first time ever. Originally constructed in 1989, this timeless home sits perfectly on a 50-foot-wide lot with direct frontage on Bon Secour Bay, offering sweeping views across Mobile Bay and beyond.

Inside, a bright and welcoming interior complements the natural surroundings, with water views from the living room, kitchen, dining area, and primary bedroom. The home retains its original charm—featuring heart pine floors, a vaulted ceiling, and double sliding glass doors—while also benefiting from thoughtful modern upgrades. Recent improvements include a central HVAC system (2019), new siding and exterior paint, a 2022 metal roof, a rebuilt pier and boathouse, a reinforced seawall, all new windows and doors, and a stacked washer/dryer.
