Achee Built Luxury in The Waters at Fairhope

Pat Achee, owner of Achee Properties, recently took time out of his busy schedule to take myself and a few of members of my SouthAlabamaLiving Team on a guided tour of one of his prized, luxury custom home creations inThe Waters at Fairhope. Pat is passionate about building high-end homes, thus it was a real treat to have him translate the intricate details that evolve his creations into some of the finest quality homes in Baldwin County, AL. Pat is equally excited about the future of The Waters at Fairhope,which has endured horrible real estate market conditions the past few years and is poised to come out ahead of the curve and reach its potential as the hottest luxury home development in Fairhope.

On this day, the featured tour was a cottage home in The Waters, which exceeds most people’s expectations in both lot and square footage size.  The roughly half-acre lots feature a minimum living area of 2,600 square feet, with most completed cottages ranging from 3,000 to 4,000.  As Pat welcomed us into his latest masterpiece, I was immediately impressed with the gleaming reclaimed pine floors, that were pleasantly contrasted by white wood walls throughout the main level. The gourmet kitchen celebrates the artistry of fine custom cabinetry, adorned with polished stainless steel and Wolf gas range.  The only thing identical about the bathrooms in this home, are the 8” spread faucets, as each shows off a unique style of cabinets, natural stone and undermount sinks, such as my personal favorite,the copper with accents.  Additional wow factors of a Pat Achee custom home include:

• High-end Wood Constructed Windows
• 10’ Ceilings and 8’ Foot Doors on Main Level
• Wide Staircases & Exterior Walk-ways
• Cypress Exterior Ceilings
• Heavy Timber Porch Systems
• HVAC Mechanical Room (Prevents 10-15% in Efficiency Loss)

Why is The Waters at Fairhope bucking the trend in lot sales and poised to weather the storm of our failing economy? Pat believes this goal is on track to be achieved for two reasons. First, the development offers residents a low-density, spacious neighborhood with abundant common areas and greenspace. Second, the timeless elements of the design and construction, creates a community of homes that will age gracefully among the pristine wooded landscape. The Waters also has a strong Architectural Committee, that strictly reviews each set of house plans to ensure that old bay house of appeal of the subdivision is preserved.
