2823 CUSSELL Drive $269,000

Large, canal front lot, in St James Cove with 110 ft on the Dawson canal with a rip rap seawall. The Dawson canal has a very good water flow which keeps it very clean. It is a very short idle to Matlacha Pass, minutes to Gulf beaches, or Pine Island Sound. You can kayak from it into the pristine St James Creek. Across the road is the Calusa Land Trust’s “St James Preserve” which contains over 500 acres of land/mangroves that will never be developed keeping the great view. This lot is on a private paved road with less than 10 lots with a multi million dollar home at its end. There is no HOA. The community is golf cart friendly, the bars, restaurants, and shops of St James City are a short bike or golf cart ride away. These lots usually don't become available for purchase often so take a look and see how this one is perfect for your dream home. The seller has a design for a 2 bed, 2 bath, 2 garage, stilt home, but there is no commitment to build it. It was designed to take full advantage of the preserve view, with two screened porches, plus a rooftop deck to view the stars and the amazing sunsets Pine Island is known for. It has a sign on it, so take a ride and imagine your dream home on it. Don't miss your opportunity to start living on "Island Time."
