Builder ready & available to build your dream home. The last accreting, buildable lot in private hands and surrounded by Nature Conservancy land on the East end of Dog Island. Dog Island is 90% owned by the Nature Conservancy and therefore is unlikely ever to be developed. The island is accessible only by boat (yours or a water taxi) or plane. Private dockage available in Dog Island's protected harbor. The island is roughly 7 miles long and about a half mile wide and is located almost 5 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Carrabelle, Florida - roughly 1 hour from Tallahassee or 2 hours east of Panama City. Security, peace of mind, and privacy are core features of the Island. We all know our neighbors. Renting is prohibited by deed restriction. The island is not unlike a small village of eclectic families from all walks of life from all parts of the country, who are passionate about the ocean - and community - and have second homes here - often for multi generations. Dog Island is not for everyone. If you have to be entertained, Dog is probably not for you. This is 'Old Florida ! No stores, no paved roads, no tennis, no golf, no traffic, no noise, no rentals, no dressing up, no competing with the Jones. Just friends, family and a place where children are safe. Dog is roughly a village of 80 homes - neighbors - a volunteer fire department, and groups of multigenerational families who value the island's privacy, peace, and solitude. Enjoy old-school lifestyle fishing for grouper, red snapper, and tarpon, or reading, walking, shelling and watching the bald eagles, owls, and ospreys. These are the main forms of entertainment on our island - along with island gatherings on holidays and oyster roasts, fish fries, and dinner with neighbors. The owners aren't leaving their Island home; but will sell their extra lot to someone who can appreciate all that Dog Island has to offer. Where else in Florida can one find over an acre of unique, private and pristine beachfront lot for this price? The Nature conservancy has first right of refusal on all sales on Dog Island. Buyers to verify all restrictions on construction, flood zones, septic systems, and wells.
