Rare opportunity to own an exquisite 8.5-acre lot on Scenic Drive overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Just minutes from downtown Pass Christian; putting shops, restaurants, and entertainment right at your fingertips. The accessibility to the beach, marina, and yacht club is also a convenient feature. Property includes six parcels extending from Beach Blvd to Second Street. The previous home site of a 24,000-square-foot mansion was sadly struck by lightning and caught on fire. The home unfortunately had to be demolished. This valuable land is open for new construction and multiple-home development. It's completely fenced and gated at the front and rear entrances. The expansive grounds still have two 1940s cottages that were combined to create a saddlebag cottage with the new addition of a master wing. The new section also contains a carport, garage storage, a covered walkway to the back porch, and a conveniently placed mudroom. As you enter the front of the home you are greeted by an open floor plan and a double-sided fireplace. The original wood floors were saved throughout the older section of the cottage. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large walk-in pantry. The three bedrooms have their own en suite bathroom and each has been creatively updated. Multiple porches lead off the bedrooms and main living spaces allowing the opportunity to enjoy the astounding views of the water as you rest or while you are entertaining. Enjoy this pleasant home and expansive grounds as is or for a temporary home while you build your personal dream home. Still remaining on the property is the inground pool and gazebo allowing for more entertaining space and a place to cool off on those warm summer days. Use this land as an investment opportunity to build multiple homes or for your private sanctuary.
