20 Cooks Island

20 Cooks Island Big Pine Key, Florida 33043 United States

Here is your opportunity to live the dream! Located just offshore from Big Pine Key, this oceanfront lot (just under an acre) on the eastern tip of Cook Island provides the ability to custom-build your have-it-all island home or vacation getaway! The beachy homesite conveys with the 7.7 acres behind it. Home to protected flora and fauna, the 7.7 acres cannot be developed and provide tons of exploration and ideal privacy. Exclusive Cook Island is home to about 15 oceanfront residences, all independently and successfully using solar power, cisterns, septic, and WiFi (no county utilities). Accessible by boat only and peacefully remote, Cook Island is about a 15-minute boat ride offshore and 30 miles from Key West and a few hours from Miami. With not a neighbor in sight, the coastal landscape is home to famous Key Deer and the surrounding waters offer some of the best kayaking, boating, SUP-boarding, jet-skiing, snorkeling, fishing, lobster-hunting and crab-trapping in the Florida Keys! A short boat ride will get you to the historic American Shoal Lighthouse or to the Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary, a stunning snorkeling and diving coral reef! The home that was on the site was recently destroyed in a fire. The site is mostly cleared and the pier requires repair. Just a few minutes away from ''real'' life, yet a world apart, this homesite is ready for your dream! Possible seller financing.
