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. The home has superior storm protection with impact windows, doors, and metal roof----and suffered no known damage in Hurricanes Helene and Milton. This property is on the list to receive substantial grant money toward lifting the structure above FEMA flood elevation. If the buyer chooses to complete the project, the home may be reconfigured adding additional living space and the market value of the property will greatly increase. Matlacha is coming back and within walking distance of this gorgeous property are restaurants, shops, and the community park with boat and kayak launches.
