147 Useppa $1,016,000

Useppa Island still has a few remaining buildable lots, and this particular one has a lot to offer those who wish to build the ideal island retreat to perfectly suit their needs. Located on the north end of this entirely private island, the primary views are elevated and to the east over the water of Pine Island Sound. Evidence of Useppa's past still exists on site, in the form of a 100 year old water cistern, which once served the "Tarpon Inn" hotel, until its final closure in 1935. While there are no historical requirements for an owner to maintain this relic, it has been drawn into plans to serve a residence as a private plunge pool, to perfectly preserve the history, while adding a unique element to a modern island home. The historic "Pink Promenade" pathway run along the eastern property line and would be considered its frontage. This pathway has served Useppa since the early 1900's and the setting is rich with Old Florida architecture and mature indigenous landscape. Useppa is entirely private and is not connected to the "mainland" by road. It's only a 10 minute boat ride from the nearest civilization, and it has modern conveniences and utilities available.
