Now available! Beautiful location for your new beach home! For a builder, wanting to expand their exposure and show Beach residents what you could offer them on rebuilding, lifting or an eye-catching quality new build for their already owned a lot, … this address (498 Crystal Drive) could be just what is needed. As residents are making important decisions on what their next step is with their current Beach home, they can see your quality work as they enter and leave Crystal Island. This location is really nice being on a private feeling cul-de-sac, yet the front, back and side of this home can be seen by potential customers every time they drive into and leave. Let everyone see your architectural design, your quality craftsmanship, and materials - as you construct the home. For boaters, take a look at the map and see the attractive quick access to John’s Pass (only minutes away)and the Gulf of Mexico. Head southwest from your backyard to the Pass without any bridges along the way. Plenty of deep water too! Enjoy sunsets from the backyard and take in the Florida fresh air. Year round kayaking, paddle boarding are amazing. See the dolphins and manatee and so much more. Free flowing intracoastal canal without any blockage allowing for fresh flow of incoming and outgoing tides. The current owner has lived here 41 years and loves it home. When the property flooded in September 2024 with thousands of others on the Florida coast, he has decided to allow someone else that opportunity to build new or rebuild. This was a rare storm and the home had no salt water flooding in all those approx 41 years of his ownership until this storm in 2024. May the next owner love and enjoy this residence as much as - or more for the years to come!
