Deep water Canal front home, on large lot in nice neighborhood, it faces an environmentally protected 10-acre lake across the street affording forever views and privacy. Currently the property has a small wooden dock, and building a new customized concrete or wood T-dock with boat lifts should be possible. If purchasing this property solely for the land, having an existing home by-passes the long wait, costs and uncertainty of going through ROGO. In fact you could probably start building your dream home in months not years (check with the local building department to be sure). However, this waterfront sailboat access home offers a livable, sturdy, well insulated and functional 782 sq ft wood frame, site-built house on concrete columns; finish floor is at Elevation 11.71. The lot is large enough that thousands more square feet of living area can be added to the existing home. If remodeling the house, only the exterior walls are load bearing and all interior walls could be removed leaving an approximate 15'6'' x 44'6'' interior open area, large enough for a Big Game Room, and wide enough to accommodate a regulation sized Billiard Table, but probably too small for a skating rink. Or if you prefer, just knock the whole house down and build your dream home from the ground up, (you'll save money on impact fees, water and sewer hook-up). There are many mature trees providing shade and privacy. The canal is deep enough to accommodate most sailboats. The House is built strong, using 2x12 floor and roof joists 16'' o.c. 2x6 exterior wall studs 16''o.c. 3/4'' plywood on roof and floors. 3/4'' plywood on exterior walls with 5/8'' plywood fastened over it. Impact windows and door. 8' ceiling clearance under house. House could easily be wire lathed and stuccoed, sided with cement board, vinyl siding etc. or even completely enclosed with poured concrete or concrete block construction.
