If there is a mountain in Biloxi this house is on it! Although it is only one house from the beach and has spectacular water views, the tidal surge from hurricaine Katrina did not enter the house. For 26 miles of Mississippi beach front property this is probably the house nearest the beach that didn't get water. It is a wonderfully unique home in an incredibly unique location. The ridge it is situated on was the location for the French settlement which served as the capital of the French colonies until it was moved to New Orleans. The heartwood pine lumber taken from virgin forests used in these historic homes is impossible to obtain in modern home improvement centers. It was built to last, the old fashioned way, with hand tools -- and it has! This historic home still has the original pressed aluminum shingle roof. A 100+ year-old roof! Beneath the wood siding the house is entirely diagonally sheathed in 7/8's tongue and groove lumber. Modern homes simply tack on some black fiberboard. This is a neighborhood that is listed in the National Register of Historic neighborhoods in the heart of Biloxi just off the beach with beach views. It is eligible for National Historic Register status and Biloxi Landmark status. There are very few of these kinds of homes left on Mississippi's gulf coast anymore and none with the singular geographic features the land it is situated on offers. Asking $1,200,000.

The house sits on a lot 50X100 and has been gutted, but was inspected by engineers after Katrina and found to be structurally sound. You can fix it up any way you like. A large attic could be converted to extra living space. With the interior redone, the original oak floors, windows and doors refinished, and the exterior repainted, this would be an adorable home in a neigborhood which will soon see many new high-priced homes. Already, there is a house just four lots away on the market for $2,500,000! Also, nearby is the city-owned Swetman home which will house the George Orr Cultural Center. A steal at $105,000!
