For the first time in over 90 years, one of Battles Wharf’s most iconic bayfront estates is being offered for sale—a truly rare and remarkable property consisting of 2.43 acres steeped in history, charm, and coastal beauty. This historic cottage, built in 1903, originally served as guest homes for one of Fairhope’s original waterfront hotel, a cornerstone of the area’s early resort era.
