Saltair Real Estate


Properties in Saltair are often custom-built (primarily single-family homes and estates), with ample square footage and mature landscaping in the expansive yards. Homes usually have plenty of oversized windows, which provide panoramic views of the water, making it even easier to take in the ocean, mountain, and forest landscapes. Multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and covered outdoor spaces are common in these waterfront properties, and the features and amenities inside are sure to impress. A Natural gas fireplace, electric furnace, and a double car garage are all typical features residents can expect from a home here. Most also have updated septic systems and water tanks. With poured concrete foundations, shake roofing, and solid wood frames, these beachside properties were built to last. All you have to do is appreciate the spectacular views and crisp ocean air.
