It's all about the location, location! Beautiful views looking south down the canal to the bay and Sanibel Island! The foundation was new in 2005 when the 1950's cottage was elevated. With severe damage from Hurricane Ian, just the home was torn down, leaving the resilient existing piling foundation that provides the solid base for your future coastal retreat. Whether you are a builder/contractor, investor, or a buyer ready to live on island time, take advantage of the groundwork that is set on this blank canvas; now is your chance to design your ideal waterfront dream home that showcases those fantastic water views.
