Perched forty feet above Bayou Texar, the historic Sherrill Mansion is a one-of-a-kind English Tudor estate blending timeless elegance with modern comfort. Built in 1933 by a local oil baron, this architectural gem sits on a bluff with panoramic views of the bay and offers refined living across the main home, guest house, and resort-style grounds. Inside, a grand foyer introduces the sweeping staircase, rich hardwood floors, and the flowing layout of the main floor. The great room is a showstopper with a beamed ceiling, marble fireplace, and French doors opening to a tranquil courtyard. A hidden bar with butler’s pantry enhances your entertaining options, while a Florida room and study—both overlooking the water—create cozy spaces for relaxation. The dining room connects beautifully to the chef’s kitchen, which features marble counters, high-end appliances including a Miele espresso machine and Sub-Zero refrigerator, and an island with breakfast seating. Upstairs, the owner’s suite boasts a fireplace, bay views, a luxurious bath, and a sprawling custom dressing room. Three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a third-floor guest loft complete the main residence. Outdoor living is elevated by tiered gardens, a private dock, and a stunning pool with waterfall features. At the rear of the property, an observation tower offers sweeping views of Bayou Texar and Pensacola Bay. The adjacent guest house includes a full kitchen, spacious living areas, three bedrooms (each with ensuite baths), and a covered patio with grill station and waterfront access. Outside, the covered patio has a built-in grill station overlooking the stunning pool deck and observation tower. The spiral staircase that leads up the tower also leads down to the waterfront, where a landscaped path takes you to the second boat dock with lift. This home is without peer in this city, built to be a generational family seat, and ready to be so for you. Offering privacy, luxury amenities and old-world charm
