Placida - Beach Property For Sale #988849

Unforgettable Palm Island! Direct beach front home! The tranquility of island life and the feeling of sand between your toes are part of living on a wide, silky sand Barefoot Beach. This is the Lowest Priced Beach Front Home anywhere in South West Florida! The structure is in excellent move-in condition, but more importantly, it is located seaward of all other structures capturing twenty miles of unobstructed beach views from Boca Grande to Manasota Key. The home has a full galley kitchen, large master bedroom, large family room, and small bathrooms by today's standards but are in great original condition and can be expanded. The Lot is Exceptional because (1) it is oversized with 100' of direct beach frontage and extra deep to build a second structure such as a guest house with beach views and garages: and (2) The home has privacy because it is located in a nine lot homeowner's association on the only private street on the beach. The association has no restrictions, no architectural reviews, no association dues, no minimum rental periods, and no public beach access adding to your enjoyment. No other beach front home combines all these benefits. In addition, the home has large open wrap-a-round decks providing beautiful entertaining areas and a Secret Garden for horticulturists. Dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles are frequent visitors, and star gazing is exceptional. You will see shooting stars every night. Let sea breezes sweep your cares away while the sound of waves relax you sleep. Sea turtles build their nests outside, and baby sea turtles hatch before your very eyes. Pelicans soar past your windows while Sea Turns search for nourishment at the water's edge. You are engaged with *Nature at it's Finest*. The Benefits of walking out your door directly onto silky sand, collecting seashells, swimming in warm turquoise blue water, and toasting the end of a perfect day as the setting sun paints the sky with vibrant colors are Never Ending! This house is both modest in size and price and in Move-In Condition. Everything is in fine working condition. The structure has demonstrated over the past 35 years that it is solid and built to last for future generations. Palm Island is a true, bridgeless, barrier island surrounded by water with a distinct feel of living in the Bahamas. But you are only 800 feet off Florida's West Coast and still in the USA. The island has all essential services including city water, on island Countyl Fire Department with EMS, county police, weekly garbage collection, high speed internet and T.V., restaurant, gift shop, ice cream/sandwich shop, and open space. Grocery stores, Walmart, and Home Depot are one to five miles away. What the island doesn't have are high rise condos, crowded beaches, congested streets, or crime. Why? Palm Island is the last bridgeless barrier island serviced by two large car ferries which operate every ten minutes from the mainland. Travel time to the island is four minutes. For non island homeowners, the price of the ferry is expensive costing $55 per trip with a car, and the ferry is the only way on or off. The benefits of a car ferry are that it creates a safer island by keeping out casual tourists and mainland beach goers, and creates a unique type of *gated* community. Law enforcement and the ferry operator work hand in hand to keep out undesirables. Everyone should live on the beach at least once in their life.
