About The Property

Private boat ramp, new pool, 2.7 acres, and a free-flowing well set the tone for this one-of-a-kind Key West–style waterfront home, where unmatched character meets laid-back coastal living. With direct bay access, there’s no need for trailering or waiting—simply launch your boat from your own property and head out for a day of fishing, cruising Tampa Bay, or exploring the Gulf. There’s also room to build a private dock, giving you the opportunity to create a fully customized boater’s retreat.

An expansive porch captures breathtaking bay views, making it the perfect place for quiet mornings or unforgettable sunset gatherings. Inside, a custom breakfast nook adds warmth and personality, creating a cozy and inviting start to your day. The outdoor living experience continues with a stunning resort-style pool, finished with travertine tile, a PebbleTec surface, and a sun shelf—ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

Set on 2.7 fully usable acres, the property offers flexibility for a self-sufficient lifestyle. A chicken coop is already in place, with plenty of space for horses, animals, and pets of all kinds. Zoned agricultural with no HOA or deed restrictions, you’ll have the freedom to store boats, RVs, trailers, and work equipment with ease. A spacious garage and abundant storage provide room for everything from fishing gear to bikes and outdoor toys.

Privately tucked away on Terra Ceia Island—an Old Florida treasure known for its peaceful atmosphere and close-knit community—this home offers a rare sense of tranquility while still being conveniently located just 17 minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, with easy access to Tampa, Bradenton, and Sarasota.
