301 A Useppa Island, USEPPA ISLAND

Tarpon Cottage is one of a kind on Useppa. A four-bedroom, 3.5-bath attached townhouse with a 180-degree water view, and 80 feet of dock to keep water toys. Lifts are in place for the owner's bay and flats boats, with 7,500-pound and 3,000-pound capacities. The ideal setup for avid anglers, the dock is three miles from either Boca Grande or Captiva Pass with outstanding flats fishing throughout Pine Island Sound, a protected Florida Aquatic Preserve. After cleaning your fish return to the storm-fortified, three-story home featuring three bedrooms and two baths on the first floor, great room, kitchen, half bath and covered lanai on the second floor. Cap it with a grand owner's suite with fireplace, huge walk-in closet and private office. Every room on every floor has excellent water views. The 1981 home was completely rebuilt to code in 2005 and enhanced since then with hurricane-rated shutters over hurricane windows, soffits to rebuff 150-mph winds and nearly indestructible roof framing. Two of three air conditioning zones are new in 2023, a new whole-house generator, washer, dryer and stove. Furnished excluding art, accessories and some heirloom family items, see exceptions list.
