Island life, 225 feet offshore
An 83-acre private island in Boca Grande, read as a home and as an investment.
Dawn
The road ends at the water.
- As an owner
- 225 ft
- Leave the car at the causeway. The island is one short crossing away, by boat or water car.
- As an investor

Morning
Thirty acres to walk before breakfast.

- The initial zoning reading allows one residence of up to 40,000 square feet.

Nothing between you and the Sound.

- 1 of 1
- One island, one house, and Placida on the far side of the water.
- As an investor
- A few miles
- Coral Creek private airport is a few miles away, and the listing names a helicopter pad among possible accessory structures.

Tomorrow
What it could become.
- As an owner
- A family compound: the main house, guest cabins over the flats, a boathouse on the islet.
- As an investor
- A private retreat: villas over the water and a marina for guests, subject to permits and the detailed zoning.
