Vision & Mission

Where Manifestation Meets the Marshlands

Born from quiet morning strolls along wooded trails and still ponds, Oasis Preserve is more than a retreat. It is an act of alignment — with nature, with purpose, with the belief that the best ideas take root in the most grounded places.

Morning walk through live oak trees along a Gulf Coast nature trail

Recharge

Step away from the noise. Reconnect with yourself, your team, and the rhythms of the natural world under endless Gulf Coast skies.

Protect

Every footstep matters. We safeguard native habitats, nurture wildlife corridors, and honor the delicate ecosystems that sustain us all.

Manifest

Manifestation in motion. What begins as a morning stroll becomes clarity, purpose, and alignment with something far greater than ourselves.

Location

Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

Nestled at the intersection of Lazy Lane and Bay Shores, our preserve occupies some of the Gulf Coast's most enchanting wooded parcels. Steps from world-class golf, marinas, and the pulse of Hollywood Casino — yet worlds away in canopied serenity.

The elevated house at the intersection sets the architectural tone: raised foundations honoring flood resilience, wrap-around porches inviting the breeze, and organic lines that blend structure with landscape.

Environmental Stewardship

Guardians of the Gulf

Oasis Preserve exists because the land invited us — not the other way around. Our stewardship pledge ensures every structure, pathway, and gathering space deepens our partnership with the ecosystem.

Gulf Coast wildlife habitat with native plants and coastal landscape

Native Plant Restoration

We cultivate Gulf Coast native species — live oaks, magnolias, saw palmettos, and coastal grasses — restoring the land to its original ecological richness.

Wildlife Habitat Corridors

Dedicated zones for migratory birds, nesting turtles, and resident species. Our ponds and marshlands form a connected web of protected habitat.

Waterway Protection

Every design decision prioritizes watershed health — permeable surfaces, natural drainage, buffer zones along every waterway and pond.

Low-Impact Development

Elevated builds minimize ground disturbance. Solar integration, rainwater harvesting, and reclaimed materials define our construction philosophy.

The Retreat

Where Architecture Honors the Land

Every structure at Oasis Preserve is designed to disappear into the landscape — not dominate it. Organic elegance meets Gulf Coast craftsmanship in cabins, pavilions, and gathering spaces that feel inevitable, as if the trees themselves shaped them.

Elevated Architecture

Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired organic lines meet Gulf Coast resilience. Raised foundations, cantilevered porches, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the canopy.

Gathering Spaces

Stone fire pits beneath ancient oaks. Screened pavilions for storm-watching. Communal kitchens sourcing from local Gulf waters and coastal farms.

Sustainable Systems

Solar arrays, rainwater cisterns, geothermal cooling, and composting infrastructure. Every cabin is a lesson in living lightly.

Wellness Integration

Dawn yoga decks over still ponds. Meditation trails through moss-draped corridors. The Gulf breeze as your only soundtrack.

Connect

Join the Vision

Whether you are an environmental partner, a corporate team seeking a transformative retreat, or a fellow steward of the Gulf Coast — we want to hear from you.
