Ft Morgan five bedroom vacation home

The "Fish House on Strong's Bayou" is a 1950's, 2,200 sq ft, lodge style home, situated on Strong's Bayou & 1.7 acres.  The best kept secret in Fort Morgan is this 5 bedroom private home that has never been rented prior to June, 2008.  The Strong's were one of the first families to settle on the Fort Morgan Peninsula.  The property was acquired by means of a Spanish Land Grant in the late 1800's. Strong's Bayou is loaded with local history as well, being one of the original Shell Banks (Indian Burial Grounds) located in the area.  The property is also a Bird Sanctuary & surrounded by the protected, 6,000 acre, Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge, where varied ecosystems are home to 373 species of birds.  This property is truly a nature lover's delight with the vast array of birds, flora & fauna. Pull out the binoculars & bird watch while sitting in the front yard sipping a cold drink. Fish in the nearby Gulf of Mexico, Little Lagoon, Alligator Lake, Bon Secour/Mobile Bay or right off the private pier on Strong's Bayou in the front yard or just enjoy the unobstructed views, stellar sunsets & local wildlife. Home may also be rented as a 2 bedroom in the off-season.

Adventure lovers, walk the migratory path of the Monarch Butterfly.  Explore the Pine Beach Trail (across the street) in the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge. Walk, jog or hike the Pine Beach Trail to the beach at the west end of Little Lagoon & fish in Alligator Lake (approx 1 mile) or continue on to the white, sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico (.5 miles more).  Walk, jog, skate, bike or drive down paved Mobile Street (across the street also) to the Gulf of Mexico beaches (approx 1 mile), where a wooden boardwalk takes you & your cargo right to the waters edge for a day of sun & fun at the beach.  Great for large groups or reunions, this 5 bedroom, 2 bath home sleeps 13 and has been partially remodeled (2 baths, living room & partial kitchen) & upgraded (all new appliances) to provide you & your family with some modern conveniences without losing the quaint, charm of the original 1950's home.
