Escape to your own private retreat! This 1.4-acre rural property offers peace, relaxation, & water access. The charming 2-bedroom home features a private boat stall, lift, & a sturdy bulkhead—no need for off-site boat storage. In less than 5 minutes, you can cruise from your slip straight to the bay. For added convenience, a neighborhood boat launch is located at the end of the street. Recent upgrades within the last 2 years include updated boat lift, new aerobic septic system, & the addition of an elevator. The AC/heat system was also replaced about a year ago. Under the home you’ll find 2 separate storage areas & full bath, making it as functional as it is inviting. The breezeway is ideal for entertaining friends & family—or simply unwinding in the fresh air. Enjoy stunning water views & take in breathtaking sunrises & sunsets from the porch. This is the perfect spot to relax, recharge, & experience the beauty of waterfront living. Sold as is. Great for a VRBO! Motivated Seller
