Résidence Unifamiliale à Ocean Springs

There is nothing ordinary about 5301 Belle Fontaine Drive. Rising directly along the Gulf in Ocean Springs, this remarkable concrete-and-steel structure is part private residence, part architectural statement, and unlike anything else on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The vision was extraordinary from the beginning, with approximately 4,402 square feet of interior space, more than 4,600 square feet of open-air terraces, five bedrooms, five full and two half baths, an elevator, and sweeping coastal views that capture both sunrise and sunset. Built using insulated concrete forms and supported by concrete-and-steel pilings, the home was created on a scale rarely encountered in residential construction. Its distinctive tower design invites you to envision private bedroom suites, each with its own bath and elevated Gulf views, while the primary suite commands the highest level of the home. The expansive terraces offer endless possibilities for outdoor living, dining and entertaining. Imagine rooftop lounges, outdoor kitchens, private seating areas, gardens, fire features, event spaces, or quiet places to watch the sun rise over the water and set across the coastline. The residence remains unfinished and will require additional investment, including roof repair, giving its next owner the rare opportunity to complete it according to their own vision. Create a truly only-one-like-it Gulf-front estate, or explore its potential as a niche short-term rental, boutique coastal retreat, bed-and-breakfast, intimate wedding and event venue, or unforgettable multigenerational property. Situated on approximately .83 acre with roughly 126 feet of waterfront, the setting alone is irreplaceable. Potential uses, renovations, and development are subject to buyer due diligence and all applicable zoning, permitting, and governmental approvals. This is not a conventional luxury property, and that may be its greatest appeal. It is an extraordinary unfinished canvas waiting for the right person to imagine what comes next.
