Beach Front: Beautiful 1.22 acres of residential beachfront property on the Mississippi Sound/Gulf of Mexico located on Belle Fontaine Beach in Jackson County, Mississippi, U.S.A.

Belle Fontaine Beach is one of the few natural Mississippi beaches and has no road between privately owned beachfront lots and the water. This unique wooded lot measures 101' beachfront (bulk-headed) and 100' road-front by 575' deep, with two septic systems and a 475' deep water well. The view to the south includes Horn Island (approximately 8 miles away), which is one of the islands in the Gulf Islands National Seashore chain. (Horn Island is a pristine island reachable only by boat.)

Watch dolphins feeding and jumping from the Belle Fontaine beachfront. Catch blue crabs, as well as several varieties of fish from your front yard. The gentle elevation is from 0' at the beachfront to 16' at roadway (center elevation approximately 14') The deep property was once divided into two lots (and possibly could be again). The mailing address is 5713 Belle Fontaine Drive, Ocean Springs, Mississippi 39564.

Numerous trees, including large oaks, pines, cedars, magnolias, palms, and persimmons provide shade and fruit (persimmons). Evergreen camellias and azaleas bloom under the canopy of trees. This desirable property is less than one mile from a golf course (St. Andrews) and three miles from the new Ocean Springs High School (under construction) and six miles to Ocean Springs Middle School. It is approximately 20 minutes from beautiful downtown historic Ocean Springs, which has numerous boutiques, museums, restaurants, antiques shops, schools, churches and medical facilities, including a nearby hospital and a Wal-Mart.

Cross the beautiful new Biloxi Bay bridge about 20 minutes away, to the casinos and world-class entertainment. The bridge also has a wide walking/biking path that has become a favorite with health conscious residents.

Need to head to the airport? Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport is only 30 minutes away. (There is a small airfield in Ocean Springs, as well.) This property is approximately ten minutes from Mississippi Highway 90 and Highway 57 (where a new city sports facility is being built) and only fifteen minutes south of Interstate 10. Also on Highway 57 is a county complex that includes a medical rehab facility.

The Mississippi Gulf Coast is undergoing a spurt of growth and this lot would be a fabulous place to build a home. There are attractive homes on both sides of the lot, and the property is classified "single family residential" by Jackson County. The property across the road is wooded and privately owned by neighbors who care about the environment. This lot on Belle Fontaine Beach is an oasis in a thriving community, with spectacular sunsets, suitable for a vacation cottage or a permanent home.
