Property Description
Prime waterfront opportunity offering 79 feet of dockage with exceptional boating access. Situated on the ocean side of the island just outside Tavernier Creek, this home makes it effortless to head offshore or slip straight to the bayside—no long canal runs, just quick, easy boating in every direction. Waterfront dining favorites like Lido's and Mar Bar are just beyond the dock, putting island living truly at your doorstep. Located in Boatman's Colony, a primarily waterfront neighborhood off the Old Highway, the setting offers a rare blend of convenience and lifestyle, with easy walking or biking to schools, local markets, and dining while still enjoying the privacy of waterfront living. Built for peace of mind, the home features solid concrete construction with a concrete roof, along with impact windows and doors. Boaters will appreciate the 12,000-lb boat lift and floating dock, making time on the water seamless and stress-free. Set on an almost 10,000 sq ft lot, the property provides a blank canvas to create your own outdoor oasis, with plenty of room to add a pool and design the space to match your vision. Inside, the home offers 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, an open concept living space, and water views from the bedrooms, creating a relaxed and comfortable retreat. Whether you're seeking refined Florida Keys living or a strong investment opportunity, this property delivers location, access, and potential—all in one exceptional setting.
