A Taj Mahal-inspired, unfinished waterfront mansion in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, is returning to the market with a new asking price of $2.5 million. The 4,402-square-foot property is situated along the Gulf Coast on nearly an acre. The project, which began in 2008 and has been under construction for 13 years, was initially listed for $2 million in 2016.
The property, designed by Biloxi doctor Dr. Pravin Saija, features a five-bedroom home with a 30-foot elevation above sea level and 126 feet of direct water frontage. The steel-and-concrete structure has a foundation and outside walls in place, with turrets and outdoor terraces designed for seating. However, the interior remains an empty shell, waiting for a buyer willing to complete the ambitious design.
The current owner, who started construction 13 years ago, has decided to sell the property instead of finishing it. The updated valuation reflects changes in local property values and the current value of construction materials on the site. The property can be used for various purposes, including a private home, corporate retreat, wedding venue, or boutique hotel.
The increased price is due to the additional material costs and the property's unique potential. The final cost to complete the home is estimated between $800,000 and $1.2 million.
