"Guided by Integrity. Backed by Experience. Search the Gulf with Meredith Amon."


Forget everything you thought you knew about luxury homes. Ono Island is rewriting the rulebook, unveiling a revolutionary vision for residential design that will shock and inspire you. Prepare to witness residences that are not just homes, but intelligent ecosystems—anticipating your desires, maximizing comfort, and redefining what it means to truly live in style.

Emerging architectural styles, cutting-edge construction techniques, and smart home integrations are changing the way Ono Island homeowners experience life on the Gulf Coast. Whether you’re considering building from the ground up or securing one of the island’s newest luxury listings, now is the time to take notice.



The Ono Island Revolution: Tomorrow's Homes Today

Welcome to Ono Island’s New Era of Design

From sleek, contemporary waterfront estates with geothermal systems to Mediterranean retreats featuring steam rooms and imported limestone, today’s new construction on Ono Island blends modern elegance with fortified strength.

In just the past 30 days, we’ve seen:

  • Active Listings spanning $899,000 to $5.3M; Gold Fortified residences with high-end appliances, private pools, and thoughtful outdoor living spaces.

  • Pending Contracts on two Gold Fortified new builds priced at $699,000 and $915,000.

  • A Recent Sale of a $890,000 property, underscoring the value buyers place on new construction and entry-level pricing on Ono Island.

Why Ono Island is the Perfect Canvas for Innovation

  • Exclusive Location: Gated security, deep-water access, and proximity to the Gulf make Ono Island ideal for both boating enthusiasts and those seeking privacy.

  • Visionary Residents: The community attracts forward-thinking homeowners who value both aesthetic beauty and future-proof home technology.

  • Architectural Freedom Within Excellence Standards: The ACC guidelines ensure quality, while still allowing for architectural creativity, from ICF modern builds to classic coastal designs.


Gold Fortification: A Non-Negotiable for the Future

On Ono Island, the standard for premium construction is Gold Fortified certification—a must-have for both durability and resale value. Benefits include:

  • Lower insurance costs.

  • Enhanced storm resistance.

  • Greater long-term structural integrity.

In today’s market, buyers are prioritizing fortified builds, and appraisers are recognizing their higher market value.


Why ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) is the Next Big Step

I believe ICF construction is the ultimate upgrade for those building on Ono Island. Beyond the strength of Gold Fortification, ICF offers:

  • Hurricane-level wind resistance.

  • Superior energy efficiency for long-term savings.

  • Exceptional sound insulation for peaceful living.

With the right builder, an ICF home on Ono Island becomes a generational asset—luxury living with unmatched durability.

There’s something deeply Southern about the way Ono Island breathes — the salt air, the sway of marsh grass, and the rhythm of tide and light. Here along Old River, the sun and wind dictate the day as surely as the church bells…
