LIVE LIKE YOU OWN A PRIVATE ISLAND—WITHOUT EVER LEAVING THE MAINLAND Some waterfront homes have a view. Others have a dock.

Once you experience it, you'll understand why properties like this rarely become available.

Nestled on 1.53 beautifully landscaped acres, this completely renovated mid-century home blends timeless Florida charm with modern luxury. Travertine marble flooring flows throughout the home, complemented by rich hardwood interior doors and a wood-burning fireplace that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Every major improvement has already been completed, allowing you to simply move in and enjoy. • Dual-zoned Trane HVAC systems (2022 & 2024) • Roof replaced in 2012 • Brand-new GE kitchen appliances (2025) • New washer and dryer (2025) Outside, the property becomes your own private nature preserve. Dolphins frequently swim past the dock. Manatees drift through the crystal-clear water. Sandhill cranes stroll across the grounds while majestic oaks and palms provide beauty and privacy in every direction. The private dock features a 10,000-pound boat lift with Kevlar-wrapped pilings completed in 2026, making it easy to leave for a day of fishing, scalloping, island hopping, or an unforgettable sunset cruise into the Gulf. Here, the Gulf isn't minutes away—it begins in your backyard. For buyers seeking investment potential, this property has already proven itself.

But finding 628 feet of waterfront wrapped around 1.53 acres with direct Gulf access is an opportunity that may not come along again. Schedule your private showing today and discover why this is far more than a home—it's a legacy waterfront property. Read Less
