Whether you're looking to create a custom primary residence, seasonal retreat, or investment property, this blank slate provides endless potential to design exactly what you want. Enjoy direct canal access with the possibility of adding a dock or lift and take advantage of the generous lot size with room to expand, add outdoor living spaces, or store your toys.

Bring your contractor and imagination, this is your chance to transform a canal-front property into your own piece of paradise! Seller Pays: Buyer uses Premium Title Services, the seller's preferred title partner and closing agent. This lets the buyer bypass the title insurance fee, related search costs and reduced escrow/settlement fees, since the seller will cover those charges. The average charges for title search and insurance is $1225 & escrow/settlement fees is $875, resulting in an overall savings of ~$1660 for buyers, who opt for Premium Title Services.
