retreat THE IDEAL

Nestled into an enclave on the bluffs overlooking Mobile Bay, the 2021 Inspiration Home is located in one of Fairhope’s most historic neighborhoods, just a stone’s throw from downtown. A public park is at the heart of the Bluff neighborhood running along Bayview Street allowing spectacular views of the water to be enjoyed by all who visit. Prominently featured in many historic photos is the notable wooden staircase found along the bluffs that give way to the public beach down below. The park serves as a shared public green and frequent setting for sunset picnic suppers, yoga, dog walking, concerts, and weddings. Lined with matured live oaks and native fruiting trees such as satsumas and pears, a combination of coastal cottages that have adapted over time alongside newer homes sit along the waterfront.
