Open Gulf Views & Unrestricted Direct Gulf Access — A True Boater's Dream
Welcome to an extraordinary Gulf Coast fishing retreat where the water isn't just a view—it's a way of life. This one-of-a-kind 3-bedroom, 3-bath waterfront pool home offers open Gulf views and direct Gulf access with no fixed bridges, perfectly positioned for serious boaters and anglers alike. With 100 feet of concrete seawall, a private boat ramp, and a fixed dock on a deep saltwater canal, you can be on the open Gulf within minutes of leaving your backyard.
Spend your days watching dolphins and manatees glide past the dock, casting a line for redfish, snook, and snapper, or heading offshore for world-class Gulf fishing. Nearly every room in the home captures stunning water views, reinforcing the seamless connection between indoor living and the coastal outdoors.
Handcrafted by the original owner—a skilled boatbuilder—this home showcases beautiful nautical woodwork and custom craftsmanship throughout, giving it character you simply cannot replicate. The layout is thoughtfully designed for waterfront living, entertaining, and relaxation.

The oversized detached garage is a standout feature for boaters. Designed with large pull-through doors on both sides, it allows you to back your boat directly from the garage into the canal and return it to covered storage after a day on the water. With ample space for larger vessels and an additional storage loft, this is the ultimate boater's workshop.
Between the home and garage sits a heated, screen-enclosed inground gunite pool, perfect for cooling off after long days of boating or fishing. The 100' x 100' oversized lot provides plenty of elbow room, while no HOA means you can freely park boats, RVs, trailers, or work vehicles. Short-term rentals are allowed, offering excellent income potential when not in personal use.
Located in Aripeka, Florida, one of the Gulf Coast's last true Old Florida fishing villages, this home is surrounded by pristine nature, legendary fishing, and breathtaking sunsets. Aripeka is known for its quiet charm, Hammock Creek access, stone crab season, scalloping, kayaking, and uncrowded Gulf waters—making it a hidden gem for those seeking authentic coastal living.
Whether you're looking for a full-time waterfront residence, a fishing retreat, or a high-demand investment property, this rare offering delivers unmatched boating access, Gulf views, and Old Florida character—all in one unforgettable home.
