Situated on your own ”peninsula” on beautiful Fort Bayou, enjoy stunning views that will never be encumbered by ”new builds.” Natural light illuminates your private paradise whether you’re enjoying the chef-ready kitchen or sipping a beverage on one of your covered balconies. Speaking of sunshine, bask atop your 4th level deck. Not a sunbather? Try yoga at sunrise to the peaceful sound of the Eastern Bluebird and the Red-winged Blackbird. Wave at kayakers and early morning fishermen as they attempt to share in the bounty near your pier.Then join in on the fun in your own boat, as it can easily slip out from your estate, into Back Bay and off to the islands in only minutes. The deep, protected waters of Fort Bayou also welcome your sailing or power yacht. Your future home at Rue Rivage was oriented to optimize sunset (and sunrise) views. Designed in a fresh modern style that is unmatched by most homes on the Gulf Coast, your guests will immediately be captivated by air, light, and space: entertain them in your open Great Room with its 24-foot ceilings; dazzle them with dramatic 2-story windows over the custom African Rosewood spiral stairs. In the kitchen: white and stainless custom cabinetry, oversized center island, under-the-counter drawer refrigerators and freezer, and walk-in butler’s pantry – all paying service to a clean and clutter-free look.Currently decorated in a minimalist, contemporary theme tempered by lovely antiques, the architecture will flex to many styles. The imported granite tile floors lend themselves to the versatility of the home and possess multi-generational durability. And in 2022, all of the bedrooms were newly laid with warm, wooden floors. Maison Rivage sits on 4.42 acres but is built high – not sprawling. (In fact, the city no longer allows such height in new builds.) Sitting high and tight in this big-ticket architecture lets you enjoy all the breezes while leaving plenty of land around you to enjoy. Your children (and then your grandchildren) will enjoy the wide open spaces while you BBQ on the back, ground-level patio. Outfitted with gas, it’s ready for your grill. Is it a take-out kind of night? Downtown Ocean Springs is just minutes away. Whatever you’re eating, you’ll love having it al fresco! And for those chillier nights – in front of your outdoor fireplace.Living in one of the most desirable, centrally located neighborhoods in the colorful and charming Ocean Springs, you will enjoy access to white sand beaches and year-round activity in a town known for its arts and festivals, independent shops, galleries, restaurants and nightlife. Feel very southe’n as you walk under her grand oaks. Ride there in your golf cart! The small but sophisticated town is also known for its school district, rated one of the best in Mississippi and is in the top ten percent in the nation. Over 700 dedicated personnel foster excellence in academics, global languages, the arts, and athletics. With so many amenities to explore, we encourage you to see the lists attached here.
