15342 State Highway 180, Gulf Shores

This luxurious waterfront Italian-style villa with guest house was designed by Dial Architects using dac-art-block construction that resembles Italian limestone. Twice featured in Coastal Living Magazine, this villa exudes elegance. The stately property highlights numerous impressive features including a hand-painted frieze in the main house, exquisite hand-blown Murano chandeliers, beamed ceilings in the primary suite, hand-painted cement tile flooring, and bronze exterior handrails. The living area opens to a covered porch and open deck overlooking Little Lagoon with 180-degree views to catch the perfect sunrise or sunset. The guest house is equally remarkable with a fully equipped kitchen, hand-painted decorative beams, and a mosaic tile shower. Located on nearly one acre, the grounds are splendid. Intentionally designed and cared for by a retired head horticulturist from Calloway Gardens, the remarkable estate includes satsumas, lemons, and scuppernongs, and for contemplative days, a quiet garden nestled between the vegetable and butterfly gardens. The grounds include 100 feet on Little Lagoon with stone steps leading into the water. An oversized garage and a large above-ground basement with ample shelving for storage are bonuses to this exquisite property. This stunning, one-of-a-kind manor is ideal for discerning buyers.
