1261 Avenue A

Description

An ultra rare opportunity awaits on Big Pine Key. Spanning 2.29 acres with bay bottom and one-of-a-kind 35 by 70 foot saltwater tide pool, this remarkable parcel showcases panoramic open water views across Bogie Channel. A true sanctuary of privacy and natural beauty, the property sits at the end of a quiet street beside a peaceful County park, bordered further by County owned land to the west and 1.25 acres of lush protected vegetation on-site. A former 2,700 square foot residence once occupied the site and was later demolished with permit in 2021 after sustaining damage during Hurricane Irma. A ROGO Exemption Letter is in place, eliminating the wait to build. A single family home permit application was submitted in 2022 and can potentially be reopened or transferred to a new owner with the County. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers previously approved a 412 foot dock permit in 2019, offering tremendous potential for future dockage. Plans for a residence, ACOE documentation, and dock drawings (including a 16,000 lb boat lift) are available upon request. Zoned Improved Subdivision, one dwelling unit may be built with a twenty percent open space requirement. This rare acreage invites imagination, whether creating a luxury waterfront retreat, private family compound, or legacy estate to hold for generations. With unmatched open water views, bay bottom rights, ROGO exemption, and a location rarely offered, this is a blank canvas for an extraordinary Keys estate. A once in a lifetime opportunity to build now and craft your vision on one of the most unique properties available in the Lower Keys.
