Nestled along the banks of Fish River, across from a protected preserve, sits this recently built custom cottage. Grab a cup of coffee, relax, and enjoy watching the sunrise over the preserve. This idyllic setting has beautiful river views that can be enjoyed from the private dock, large back porch, or many rooms of the house. Live here year round or use it as a relaxing retreat. Either way, you will feel the serenity of river life as you bask in the natural light that pours into the family room or peer out the French doors in the master bedroom admiring the wildlife along the riverfront. Legend has it Union troops sailed up Fish River to overtake the Confederates at Fort Blakeley. Fish River holds a special place in history you will sense when standing on its banks or as you boat down the river through Weeks Bay into Mobile Bay. Anglers appreciate Fish River for its wide variety of fish , from freshwater to saltwater species.
