Private Island Offering—Boat Access Only! This is a rare opportunity to own your own 3.5-acre private island – complete with a dedicated waterfront access lot on Standish Drive, conveyed together as one unique offering. Tucked away in the waters of Old Homosassa, this property delivers a level of privacy and lifestyle that’s nearly impossible to find. Your mainland lot provides convenient parking, boat docking, and private launch access, making the short, scenic ride to your island – less than ¾ of a mile – effortless. The island features an approximately 1,000 sq ft residence, currently configured as two separate 500 sq ft spaces. Following prior storm impact, the home has been taken down to a blank canvas, with flooring, subflooring & interior framing already completed – ready for your vision to transform it into a private retreat, weekend escape, or income-producing property. The home has electric & a cistern water tank for flushing, bathing, etc. This home was lived in and loved very much for almost 30 yrs – by its former local legendary owner – Bonnie the ‘Bait Lady’. Included in the offering is the .11-acre waterfront lot on Standish Drive, providing essential access and added potential. While future building on that lot may require county approval, neighboring properties of similar size suggest the possibility. Buyers are encouraged to verify all details with the county. Enjoy direct access to the best of Florida’s Nature Coast – just minutes to the Homosassa River and a quick 10-minute boat ride to the Gulf, where days are spent fishing, scalloping, kayaking, and observing native wildlife, including manatees. Located in Old Homosassa, a golf cart-friendly community known for its charm, local eateries, and marinas – you’re close to everything, yet completely removed once you arrive at your island. This property is being sold as a combined package only. Cash only. Serious inquiries only.
