WHY DREAM OF A VACATION ON THE COAST OF FLORIDA WHEN YOU CAN OWN A PIECE OF PARADISE If you’ve been considering a home in the Sunshine State of Florida this is the perfect time to turn that dream into reality. This exceptional property was custom constructed in 1988 by skilled local builders and craftsmen. The home showcases solid woodwork throughout and dramatic vaulted heart-pine beams that anchor the main living area. It offers two generously sized bedrooms and two baths designed for comfort and functionality. Expansive covered porches wrap around the entire home, providing access to three 12-foot sliding glass doors that flood the interior with natural light and coastal breezes. You’ll feel like you are in a glamorous, well-appointed treehouse that says…Relax and enjoy life! Bubbling jacuzzi time is a bonus. On the ground level, you’ll find a versatile garage/game room, an attached workshop, and two covered carports. The fenced backyard offers a safe haven for pets. This thoughtfully designed and solidly constructed residence stands out even among the most impressive homes in Cedar Key. Adding to its appeal, the property includes three platted and buildable 1/3-acre lots. One lot holds the home, while the front lot extends to within approximately 50 feet of the Gulf. Those final feet are owned by the City of Cedar Key and designated as conservation land—ensuring protected water views for generations to come. While the property could be subdivided into separate parcels, it is currently offered as one expansive homesite, presenting endless possibilities. This extraordinary property boasts a main living elevation of 13 feet above sea level, supported by substantial concrete pillars rising an additional 9 feet. The result? Superior storm protection—rare for the island—and breathtaking sunrise and sunset views that never disappoint. Cedar Key itself is a cluster of small islands along the Gulf Coast, north of Tampa and south of Tallahassee. Once a historic fishing village, it is now home to roughly 800 residents—a blend of longtime locals, clam and oyster farmers, and small business owners. The island is beloved for its natural beauty, water activities, outstanding local restaurants, and welcoming community. Your friends can fly in for lunch utilizing the community’s 2303 foot asphalt runway, take time to kayak with the dolphins, reserve a seat for a sunset boat tour, explore the many islands. There is a reason UF set up a biological research station in the fascinating town. Life here moves at a deliberately relaxed, Old Florida pace. Come experience this rare, one-of-a-kind property—and bring your dreams home.
