Main Structure Constructed primarily of wood with a cinderblock foundation, the central building measures 20 feet wide by 40 feet long and is divided into two equal sections of 20' x 20'. A rear bump-out addition, approximately 10 feet wide by 20 feet long, houses a utility area that includes a room with a toilet and sink, as well as a partially partitioned space featuring a shower, tiled area, and a utility sink. The entire structure is topped with a vaulted, pitched roof. Entry and Porch A side entrance from a covered carport—approximately 10' x 20'—leads into a screened-in porch with a concrete-paved floor, also measuring about 10' x 20'. Two steps lead up to a central platform (10' x 20') enclosed with picket fence-style railing. This elevated area features roll-out horizontal windows and screens along its length, along with a hanging swing on one side for relaxed seating.

The back wall is fitted with four large windows above a compact kitchen setup, which includes a mini stove, full-size refrigerator, and a porcelain-iron sink with generous counter space on either side. To the left of the kitchen, a doorway leads to a small bathroom with a toilet and sink, and another partitioned space with a shower, tiled floor, and utility sink. There is also an outdoor shower head for additional convenience. Opposite the bathroom is a separate 10' x 5' room with an exterior door, suitable for storage, an office, or guest use. Additional Structures Workshop: Located behind the carport, this 10' x 10' shed includes a workbench and built-in storage. 'Boathouse': A larger secondary structure on the parcel measuring approximately 15' x 30', Named the boathouse as it features exceptionally tall ceilings and offers versatile utility for boat storage. Historical Note The original structure dates back to around 1961 and was part of U.S. Army Surplus Housing. The previous owners added a second roof over the entire structure, which remains in fair condition. That said, conversations in the local community suggest that existing structures—such as The Jungle Hut—may have a more streamlined path through the local permitting process for renovations compared to vacant lots seeking new construction where no prior structures have been documented.
