Active with contract. Views forever over the Gulf. Pristine clear waters, lapping on the white sand of your private serene beach. This protected cove is home to many species of Porpoises, diving Cormorant Birds, and Manatees that lazily float by, along with the occasional Eagle Ray that leaps out of the water. The beach has a protected swimming crib for children. This sprawling 1950's Cypress dwelling has a character all its own. Pecky Cypress ceiling, tongue and grove inside walls, large panoramic old architectural sliding windows and doors. The bathrooms have been updated. Kitchen is new. Many built ins, good storage and closets galore. Two wood burning fireplaces. With a little TLC this property can be used as your dream Beach Hideaway. The home is located on a 1 1/2 acre parcel, which runs from Higel to the Gulf, with fruit trees and mature plantings and would accommodate a new home, if you desire.

Locations on the Barrier Islands that have existing RE zoning are acknowledged, and are considered to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map; however, such lands shall not be rezoned to a more intensive RE District; Agricultural uses permitted under the OUE-2 District prior to October 27, 2003, shall continue to be permitted uses on those parcels converted from OUE-2 to RE-1 zoning.
