WHY NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY VACANT LAND ON ONO ISLAND
By Meredith Amon, Licensed in Alabama and Florida
When I walk or boat around Ono Island, I’m often asked, “Isn’t the island almost built out by now?” The answer is yes and no — while many premier lots are already developed, there are still opportunities to purchase vacant land. For buyers with a vision, owning a piece of undeveloped property here offers flexibility, potential equity growth, and the chance to design a home that perfectly suits their lifestyle.

Is Ono Island Built Out?
It’s true that Ono Island has matured over the years with stunning homes along big water, canals, and interior streets, but vacant lots remain available. Some are tucked away in quiet cul-de-sacs, while others sit on wide stretches of water with space for expansive docks and boathouses. These rare lots are valuable not only because of their location but also because supply is limited. As more people discover the uniqueness of living on Ono Island, the opportunity to buy and build will only become more competitive.
Why Buy Vacant Land Now?
There are three reasons I encourage buyers to consider land purchases on Ono Island in 2025:
-
Limited Supply, Increasing Demand
With fewer lots left, property values are expected to rise. Purchasing now locks in today’s price before land inventory shrinks further. -
Customization and Control
Building your own home means selecting the foundation type (stem wall or monolithic slab), finishes like Hardieboard siding or ICF construction, and designing features such as outdoor kitchens, pools, and boat storage tailored to your lifestyle. -
Strong Long-Term Investment
Even if you don’t plan to build right away, holding land on Ono Island can be a strategic move. As Baldwin County continues to grow, premium locations with boating amenities will only increase in desirability.
My Perspective as a Homeowner
Neighbors often share stories about how buying land here years ago turned out to be one of their best investments. One friend told me recently, “We waited five years before building, and the lot itself appreciated so much that our equity started before we even poured the foundation.” I hear this often, and it’s a reminder of how rare and special these opportunities are.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been dreaming about building a coastal retreat with deep-water access, golf cart storage, or simply a private escape on Ono Island, the timing is excellent to purchase a vacant lot. Inventory will not last forever, and the chance to create your own legacy home is a door worth opening sooner rather than later.
