About this home
The 2+/- Acre property is ready for a new vision and purpose. Formerly a home and currently zoned R-1, the future land use map of Mobile agrees that this should be a commercial property. With 200' on Cottage Hill and 435" on Wildwood there is plenty of road frontage to allow for different uses. Although it is believed that the house is structurally sound, the house is not considered to be a contributing asset.
Malibar Heights, located between Airport Boulevard and Cottage Hill Road, is a residential and suburban Mobile neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and leafy, curving streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Airport Blvd–University Blvd corridor, where local eateries, small storefronts, and campus-day energy set the pace. Spring Hill College serves as a cultural anchor nearby, with its oak-lined grounds and event calendar shaping the area’s rhythm. Bragg-Mitchell Mansion adds a historic counterpoint for architecture-minded strolls. Municipal Park’s trails and open lawns frame an outdoors-forward routine, while nearby shopping corridors keep daily errands straightforward.

R-1
Single-Family Residential Districts
These districts are composed of both developed and largely undeveloped areas. The developed areas contain mainly one-family dwellings and small open areas, usually subdivided, where residential development seems likely to occur; few two-family and multiple-family dwellings are found in these developed areas. It is anticipated that most of the large undeveloped areas will ultimately be developed for residential use. The district regulations are designed to protect the residential character of the developed areas by prohibiting commercial activities and encouraging a suitable neighborhood environment for family life.
