The Cypress Village Development Real Estate And Homes For Sale In Orange Beach, AL

On August 8, 2014, I was given a very special personal tour of the new single family homes being constructed in Cypress Village of Orange Beach, Alabama. As my team partner and I previewed the floor plans and got a first-hand look at the building goings-on, we learned that Cypress Village is set to be the first Gold Level Fortified residential development in all of Baldwin County, Alabama. This means that these new homes will comply with the 2010 Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety's highest building standards to withstand high winds, wind-driven rain and hail, and other storm damage. These standards were compiled based on two decades of testing and investigation following major storms. With Gold Level being the top level on the rating scale, Cypress Village homeowners will not only enjoy the sense of security and pride that this level of craftsmanship can bring, but also much lower homeowner insurance costs.

The architect of the Homes at Cypress Village, Stedmann McCollough, skillfully lends a fresh yet classic coastal cottage theme to the six stunning home options available. The models are aptly named after our Gulf Coast feathered neighbors, the Crane, Heron, Osprey, Pelican, and Egret. The homes range from the three bedroom, two and a half bath, Heron, to the four bedroom, four and a half bath Crane model. All homes will feature 9' and 10' ceilings, solid wood doors, hardwood floors and high quality tile, impact resistant windows and doors, granite countertops in the kitchen and bath, and stainless appliances. All cabinets are finely crafted by Salt Air Restoration. Coastal touches like beadboard, large plantation style windows and doors, and open, airy porches and balconies complete the feel of the charming coastal retreat.

Upon purchase of a new home in Cypress Village, homeowners will be given many choices to make the house their own, with different serene, designer color options, solid flooring, cabinetry, and other detailed touches. Several of the homes have already been purchased, and the excitement surrounding this community is palpable.

Amenities at the Cypress Village development are plentiful, and include a pool with lazy river, pool side cabanas, lush tropical landscaping, natural walking trails, and even a community grill area. The community is also right next door to the Wharf entertainment district and the boating marina. Imagine being tucked away in your own quiet coastal community, surrounded by lush vegetation and stunning architecture, but also being a stone's throw from all the fine dining and entertainment of the Wharf! I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of Cypress Village!
