Ocean Springs Taj Mahal‑Inspired Home Returns to Market at $2.5 Million

The 4,402‑square‑foot, 30‑foot‑above‑sea‑level structure sits on 0.8 acres along the Gulf, its steel‑and‑concrete skeleton standing as a silent testament to a decade‑long dream.

Built after permits filed in 2008, the house features insulated‑concrete‑form foundations, south‑facing turrets, and a rooftop lounge, yet its interior remains an empty shell awaiting wiring, plumbing and drywall.

Coastal Realty’s Rachel Allen estimates that completing the interior, installing fixtures and repairing the roof will cost between $800,000 and $1.2 million, a figure that could be achieved in about six months.

The property’s 126‑foot water frontage and lack of short‑term‑rental restrictions make it attractive for private residency, corporate retreats, wedding venues or boutique hotels, though any redevelopment still requires local zoning approvals.

An upcoming open house on June 15 will allow buyers to assess the unfinished shell and envision its potential, with the listing remaining active until the end of July.
