Sprawling Craftsman: 3,550 sqft on .82-Acre Lot Near Beach
What first strikes you at 18612 Treasure Oaks Court is the generous, level parcel — a rare .82-acre setting inside Martyn Woods that gives this 3,550 sq ft Craftsman room to breathe. Approach down a long driveway to a home built in 2018 and certified Gold Fortified for enhanced coastal resilience; the oversized three-car garage and 175-foot frontage underscore how uncommon this yard is in Gulf Shores. Mature trees frame the property and a large covered back porch promises long evenings for family meals or quiet reading.
Step inside and the finishes reveal a house designed for everyday life without sacrificing refinement. Main living areas are anchored by hardwood floors and high ceilings trimmed with crown molding; a fireplace creates a warm focal point in the family room. The kitchen is built to perform — a large center island, stainless appliances, wall ovens, a tasteful backsplash and ample cabinetry combine to support both casual breakfasts and holiday gatherings. A practical mudroom and laundry area connect to the garage for easy household routines.
The primary suite reads like a private wing: a sitting area under a double trey ceiling, a tiled shower alongside a soaking tub, double vanities with granite counters, and a custom-built walk-in closet with wood shelving. Three additional bedrooms and 3.5 baths accommodate guests and family, while smart-home wiring provides modern convenience throughout. Thoughtful details — durable dimensional roofing, an electric heat pump, and municipal utilities — add to the property’s low-maintenance appeal.
Living in Martyn Woods means access to amenities that extend your backyard: community tennis and pickleball courts, a private fishing pier, and deeded water access for quiet days on the bayou. Outdoor destinations are close by — Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge is about 5 miles away and Gulf Shores Public Beach roughly 7 miles — making weekend nature walks or beach days effortless. With solid recent comparable sales in the neighborhood and a demonstrated upward trend since the 2020 sale, this property pairs a substantial lot and high-end finish palette with long-term neighborhood desirability.
This is a home that suits families seeking space and durability, buyers wanting coastal proximity without sacrificing privacy, and those who appreciate community amenities that feel curated rather than crowded. Schedule a tour to experience how the layout, finishes, and oversized lot come together in one of Martyn Woods’ most walkable, amenity-rich pockets.

A factual market snapshot around 18612 Treasure Oaks Court.
Martyn Woods and the broader Gulf Shores single-family market have shown steady appreciation over recent years, driven by coastal demand and limited for-sale inventory. Local comparable sales from 2025 in the neighborhood closed between $750,000 and $900,000, supporting a current valuation range near $850,000–$900,000 and a midpoint estimate of $875,000. While official inventory and average days-on-market figures are not available in this dataset, community-level indicators — strong amenity appeal, large lot sizes, and Fortified construction — typically favor sellers for well-maintained, move-in-ready homes. Single-family homes with lot depth, upgraded finishes, and community access (tennis/pickleball, private pier, deeded water access) tend to outperform general market averages in dollar-per-square-foot terms. Prospective buyers should factor in coastal insurance and flood-zone considerations, review HOA rules and fees, and act decisively if a comparable property meets their criteria: demand in this corridor remains robust and the scarcity of oversized lots in Martyn Woods elevates long-term value potential.
