Seller has accepted a contingent contract - ACCEPTING BACKUP OFFERS! Once in a lifetime opportunity to own an incredible property on Pine Island Sound! This home is situated on over an acre with a private canal, starting at the pond partially on the property, to the OPEN water via kayak or small flats boat. On Pineland Road, yet beautifully tucked away and private---the back yard, decks and solar-heated pool are a dream. Sit in the open sun on the deck overlooking the canal, or stay within the screened pool area with its huge deck to watch the water birds in the canal. This house is truly a home with its bright, airy feel and windows that bring the outdoors inside everywhere you look! The master bath features gorgeous Rocky Mountain Quartzite stone that glistens wet or dry. Within walking distance to Tarpon Lodge for fine dining, Pineland Marina and Alden Pines Golf Course. Whether you keep the house as-is and enjoy its beautiful design that brings nature in, or add a second story for clear, unencumbered views of Pine Island Sound, this is a very special property, the likes of which rarely come to market.
