8762 King St, Placida, Florida 33946

No bridge, no traffic, no crowds. This larger-than-typical lot, measuring 85 x 100, is located on Little Gasparilla Island, a bridgeless barrier island off the coast of the Cape Haze Peninsula, and is accessible only by private boat or water taxi. The island is just a short 10-minute ride across the bay, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. Here, you can truly unwind and let your stress melt away. Build your island retreat on this vacant lot, where the island offers natural beauty in its tropical foliage, sandy roads and uncrowded beaches, plus the old Florida charm that is becoming rarer to find. Whether you picture a weekend getaway, a full-time home or a long-term investment, this lot is a blank canvas. King Street has a community dock, rebuilt about a year ago, that is first come, first served. To use the dock, you will need to join the dock association and pay the annual fee. The island has public water and electric available. Little Gasparilla Island does not have grocery stores, restaurants or shops, but it does offer 3½ miles of pristine, uncrowded beaches, ideal for collecting seashells and shark’s teeth, swimming, or simply relaxing in the sun with a good book. The surrounding waters provide excellent fishing for redfish, snook, snapper, trout and more, and you can easily reach a variety of delightful dockside restaurants by water. As the day ends, neighbors often gather at the water’s edge to watch the sunset, concluding another blissful day in this island paradise. Come discover this lovely lot, embrace the unique lifestyle it offers, and experience what it truly means to live on island time.
