Description of Property

Move into the Captain’s Quarters on Gottried Creek! Plenty of room for your boat, kayaks, cars, RV.’s and other equipment at this “Sportsmans Paradise”!

The large 1.12 acre lot is zoned RSF5, allowing up to five units per acre so you can likely build an additional cottage (or two) for your guests! In 1998 the original home was rebuilt/extensively remodeled and had additional space as well as electrical upgrades, hard internet/cable wiring and security system added! Entire perimeter of house and garage is solidly built with all cinder block on lower floor.

Launch your boat from your private 8500 lb. lift, go under one bridge (almost 9’ clearance) to Lemon Bay and be in the crystalline blue waters of the ICW and Gulf of Mexico just 15 minutes beyond. Enjoy the fishing and beach life and observe a vibrant ecosystem steps from your back door. Let the daily rhythm of the tide set your pace. The open floorplan and large decks make the home light, airy, and washed in sunlight. The remodeled kitchen flows effortlessly into the main living area, where plantation shutters further enhance the Old Florida ambiance.
