Property Description

AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY ALWAYS LEADS TO THE GRANDEST ADVENTURE! This little home is hidden amongst the most amazing, picturesque landscape that could only be imagined in a Tolkien tale. Nestled on 2 separate lots totaling .38-acres in the Ozello Keys and surrounded by a labyrinth of mangroves, tidal creeks, estuaries, marshes and wildlife galore, this 2-bedroom, 1 bath 640sqft waterfront home is your cozy escape to write your own tale. YOUR gateway to magic! Get ready, your journey begins now! But first things first, so let's get to it. The home needs remediation from Hurricane Helene. Most of the walls have been stripped to the studs throughout, damaged cabinetry and appliances removed and is awaiting your creativity and finishing touches. The floor plan is back to basics with function over form, as the outdoors is really the place to be. The large 32'x9' covered front porch strategically faces the Black Creek Canal, which leads directly to The St Martins River and out to The Gulf of America. Go ahead, sit a spell and contemplate your plans for the day, whether by land or by sea. A stacked stone garden wall at the entrance to the property adds a shire-like, romantic touch, reminiscent of a time long ago. Seawall and dock are a head start. Public water is a plus! NO HOA & NO DEED RESTRCTIONS, so bring all your toys! The Ozello Keys are connected by Ozello Trail, a curvy, scenic 10-mile road that meanders through salt marshes, mangrove islands, sabal palms and cedars and is famous for its unforgettable views of nature and wildlife. The Fish Creek Boat Ramp is 3 minutes away and the Ozello Community Park is only 7 minutes away for both a Boat Ramp and Kayak Launch. And with great fortune, your right smack in the middle of St Martins Marsh Aquatic Preserve and Crystal River Preserve which offer thousands of acres for boating, kayaking, fishing (both recreational and commercial), scalloping, birding watching, hiking, photography and more! The setting for the tale of your grand adventure is here. All you have to do is decide what to do with the time on your journey!

Angie was absolutely amazing throughout our home-buying journey. From day one, she took the time to explain every step of the process and made sure both Jeffrey and I understood what was happening and what our options were. As first-time buyers, that guidance meant so much to us. Her communication was excellent and she was always available to answer questions, kept us informed, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. Angie was also a fantastic negotiator. She successfully negotiated seller-paid closing costs and helped ensure that the repairs we requested were addressed, saving us both money and stress. What stood out most was how confident she made us feel throughout the entire process. She never pressured us and always took the time to help us make informed decisions that were right for our family. We truly felt like she was advocating for us every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor and are so grateful for everything Angie did to help us get into our new home. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and caring real estate professional!
