194 Marnie Island Dr

Description

Experience the peace, tranquility, and natural surroundings of the head of St. Joseph's Bay from the small and private community that is Marnie Island Preserve. You won't find a better value on St. Joseph's Bay. This small island is accessible via the gated entry and HOA-owned private bridge across the salt marsh and tidal creeks to the upland buildable area where one of 8 lots is the site of the only home currently located on the exclusive island. The property offers a gorgeous western view over St. Joe Bay and the surrounding preserve area, with unobstructed sunsets over the water year round. The 2012-built home offers 3 bedrooms plus a bonus sitting room/office with 3.5 bathrooms and just under 2,000 square feet of living space with scenic views from every room. Generous porches provide comfortable outdoor living space, and there is even a tidal creek at the end of the upland property which provides access directly into St. Joe Bay for the kayaks, canoes, or small/shallow boats during higher tides. The house also has an unfinished elevator shaft currently used for storage which is ready for an install if needed. Public beach access is right around the corner at Salinas Park on the Cape from this convenient location, which is also only 15 minutes to Port St. Joe or 20 minutes to Apalachicola. Great opportunity in a special setting! Be sure to check out the 360 virtual tour attached to the listing.
