Description

If you are looking for privacy and a lot of potential, this is the property for you. The dwelling and guest cottage both need a vast amount of work but offer the possibility of a great return on investment. The property consists of a large main house, a 24 x 24 guest cottage or office, and a 48 x 60 building that was formerly used as an airplane hangar on over 7 acres just Northwest of Gulfport. The former owner had a private plane and acquired access to the adjoining airstrip, but there is no longer any agreement in place for access to the airstrip. A potential buyer would need to inquire from the airstrip ownership if the possibility of gaining access to the airstrip is desired. The owner requests that no one enter the guest cottage as a result of its current state of needing repairs. This property is not visible from any public roadway and accessed via an ingress/egress easement from Highway 53. The 48 x 60 building on the property is a big bonus and allows for the storage of a plane if access to the airstrip was acquired, or a boat, RV, car collection, or any other toys or work-related equipment one may have. This property will be gone before you realize it, so do not wait if you are interested. Call your real estate professional to schedule a showing.
