12985 storm port

ONE OF A KIND Island for sale in Homosassa, Florida. This 7.4 ac island is centrally located in a Fisherman's paradise, being only 3 miles from Mason Creek Boat Ramp and 5 miles from Homosassa Boat Ramp (Next to MacRae's Marina and Shed). It is ONE of the VERY FEW barrier islands with electricity. The Island is surrounded by several protective islands with a 5ft deep channel between allowing easy access to the Gulf of Mexico or to the beautiful Homosassa Springs. The Jim Walters Stilt house on the island is structurally strong, however, after Hurricane Hermine, the owner installed a new metal roof to the house but the first floor has minor water damage. The upper story of the home was not damaged. There are docks located on the East and West sides of the island, the east side being the "Storm Port," which is the protective area where the larger fishing and shrimp boats would anchor for storms. The panoramic views of Florida's sunsets and the constant sea breeze are just some of the great things the island has to offer. Homosassa has everything in a nutshell that Florida provides, the phenomenal fish havens, scalloping grounds, and world renown Fresh water springs. If you are looking for your own private getaway or a potential rental property for the great number of tourists wanting to explore this Florida gem, look no further. **Call to make an appointment for showings
