20 Cooks Island

SELLER FINANCING AND BANK FINANCING EACH AVAILABLE! Here is your opportunity to REALLY live the dream! Located just offshore from Big Pine Key, this oceanfront lot (0.92 acres) 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 cell service (no county utilities). Accessible by boat only and peacefully remote, Cook Island is about a 15-minute boat ride offshore from Big Pine Key and 30 miles from Key West and a few hours from Miami. Car and larger boat parking is available at a reasonable cost at a Big Pine Key Marina with all conveniences nearby. With not a neighbor in sight, the coastal landscape is home to protected Key Deer and the surrounding waters offer some of the best kayaking, boating, SUP-boarding, jet-skiing, snorkeling, diving, fishing, wake-boarding, 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 destroyed in a house fire and has been cleared away. The pier requires repair. The site is ROGO-exempt so you can get started on your new home - or simply enjoy exploring the land and keep your toys there for your water fun days. Just a few minutes away from ''real'' life, yet a world apart, this homesite is waiting for your dream!
