Imagine owning your very own slice of paradise. Those of us who live in Baldwin county know that Ono island is known as "the island on the island." A natural barrier island that separates coastal Orange Beach, AL and Perdido Key, FL by the Old River to the South and Bayou St. John to the North. This private community is known for its exclusivity, offering its residents a private entryway with guarded security and patrol.
Many of the residents who call Ono Island home, enjoy the private boat slips and views of iconic places such as the Flora-Bama and Perdido Key and while Baldwin County is one of the fastest growing counties in Alabama, Ono Island offers its elevated status to those who enjoy luxury living.
We teamed up with Kristin Ford - Kaiser Sotheby's International Realty to bring you a unique Coastal Castle that is currently on the market. This home boasts not only its real-world charm and easy living but plenty of space for those seeking serenity along The Gulf Coast.
This spacious canal front home sits on what is known as a "high and dry" 1 acre lot on Ono Island. Walking into the front living space welcomes its owners and guests with floor to ceiling windows and views, making this great room truly one-of-a-kind with its grand view. Off to the side, the kitchen offers a breakfast bar, large walk-in pantry, and family room. The main level of this home offers a three car garage, a guest room, two full bathrooms, and a recreation area that would be perfect for an in-home gym. On the second floor, you'll find a theatre, additional kitchenette, a master suite with its own laundry area and private master bathroom with a balcony. On the east wing of the home you're offered an additional three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a stair-way that leads to what locals call a "Crows nest," which features views of the whole island.
Not only does this home feature a completely renovated exterior that has an in-ground saltwater pool and hot tub, it also has a private boat dock with slip, wet bar, and access to the canal. Kristin Ford had this to say about the 1.8 million dollar listing, " This home is beautiful and unique. It's not your typical home, it's filled with lots of character and has fire places throughout the living space. With all of its amenities, it's a house that is ready to be someone's home."
Ford and her husband moved to Baldwin county several years ago with their three children in pursuit of their passions. After twenty years of marriage and discussing the possibilities, Ford says "we wanted to be here and decided to make this place (Baldwin County) our home. I've always had a passion for real estate and selling higher end homes. With my husband's building experience and my passion for excellence in real estate we made the commitment and haven't looked back since."
While Kristin features this listing to showcase the endless possibilities of what "Home" looks like for some, the real-estate market in Baldwin County is certainly booming.
