Beautiful custom cottage with open water views and incredible gulf access. This is a fully custom, renovated and restored property that proves the resiliency and spirit of this special little island. Designed specifically to be supported on helical pilings when it was built, this property also boasts cement board siding, impact doors and windows, metal roof, weather-proof composite trim and decking and a new seawall with extended side support tiebacks. The attention paid to the storm-proofing of this property gives peace of mind in protecting its gorgeous design and contents while still enabling expansive open water views and incredible gulf access. From one-of-a-kind tile design and light fixtures to a highly functional layout, this home is like a jewel box with the “extras” that will delight! On the main street of Matlacha and within walking distance of this special home are restaurants, shops, and the community park with boat and kayak launches.
