Property Description
Welcome to this remarkable Dog River estate — a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 2-half-bath 4500 sq ft home gracefully sited on approximately 3 private acres along the wide stretch of Dog River. With deep-water access and gorgeous western views, this property offers an extraordinary blend of privacy, elegance, and waterfront living. A gated entrance and wooded, winding drive lead to a circular driveway and the home's stately façade of Old Mobile Brick, complete with a sweeping columned front porch — the perfect place to relax and take in the serene setting. Inside, tall ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, crown moldings, and wood-accented walls highlight the home's craftsmanship and warmth. From the foyer, breathtaking river views unfold, and every room across the back of the house offers access to the expansive covered porch that runs the length of the home, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The main level features a welcoming living room with a gas-log fireplace, a separate dining room, and a handsome study with its own fireplace. The primary suite offers exceptional comfort with separate baths and closets. A well-designed kitchen with a Sub-zero refrigerator and an island and breakfast area overlooks the water, while a spacious laundry with a window & sink has great storage. Upstairs, you will find two bedrooms sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath, a fourth bedroom with an ensuite bath, a large bonus room, and generous attic spaces with incredible potential for expansion or renovation. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Overlooking the river, the spacious covered porch opens to a sparkling saltwater pool with both gas and heat pump systems for year-round enjoyment, along with a pool house that includes equipment storage, a shower room, and golf cart storage. The professionally landscaped grounds, designed by GDSI, are supported by a full irrigation system. On the water, the private wharf is a true showpiece — featuring 6 feet of water depth, 50A power, three covered boat lifts (a new lift for up to 10,000lbs, a Gem Remote Control, 2 smaller lifts for around 23 and 16 foot boats), a bar area for entertaining, storage, water and power access, and a slip large enough for a 60-foot boat with room for expansion. Additional structures add tremendous versatility: a detached studio apartment with kitchen, full bath, plus an attached two-car carport and a two bay enclosed storage building with an attached workshop; and across the circular drive, a second building with a small workshop and single-car carport. For peace of mind, the property also includes a 40kW whole-house generator. This offering is only for Lot 24 and the N half of lot 25River forest subdivision and not for the much larger parcel shown on the tax records. This is an extremely rare opportunity to own one of Dog River's finest properties, offering a lifestyle of privacy, elegance, and endless possibilities for entertaining both on and off the water.
