Please note that some of the photographs in this listing were taken prior to the hurricanes and may not fully reflect the current condition of the property. However, they showcase what this home once was—and the potential of what it can be again. Selling As-Is, this property offers a blank slate for buyers to create their dream waterfront retreat, with an incredible location, at an unbeatable price.
