A rare chance for your own perfect little Florida Key, ideally situated and an excellent development prospect. Sunset Key is located in the beautiful Gulf of Mexico at the entrance to the Anclote River at Tarpon Springs, Florida, and only 200 yards from shore. This a very desirable location, as there are many very large multi-million dollar homes within 200-300 yards from the island at the prestigious harbor watch gated community. Sunset Key already has approval for a home and a boat dock by the county.

The island is 2.2 acres of buildable island, measuring 450ft wide x 600ft long. It has grown over the decades to almost 5 acres due to the mangroves and sand accumulation and still growing today. It is surrounded by mangroves that protect it from erosion and it also has a rare 5ft high quartz rock and limestone wall or burm all around the inside of the mangroves as a second line of defence against any high tides or waves. This was built by the U.S Army Corp of Engineers in a dredging project many years ago and would cost probably $200,000 or more today.

The islands best features are it's "location" to everything only 200 yards to the Anclote River Park and with boat ramps beaches showers and parking for boats and vehicles. There are 4 marinas, bars and restaurants within 1 mile of the island up the river the closest bar is only 1000 yards away. It is only 5 mins drive by car to downtown Tarpon Springs and only 5-10 mins ride by boat, 30-35 mins drive to Tampa airport and 5-10 mins drive for shopping. The island has all of the privacy of a private island, yet is so close to everything, unique as most islands are so isolated and far from civilization.

Building a home on Sunset Key would be much easier than most islands, as Tarpon Springs has many large barges for construction materials and equipment and Home Depot is less that 10 mins drive 2.5 miles away. Water can be supplied by a well or desalination unit - fresh water has been found on the island. Deep water access 14 feet.

Fresh water has been found on the island as most saltwater located Islands have water under the sand this is called the lense effect where fresh water will accumilate above the salt water as it is lighter, also we are in the process of obtaining an estimate for Florida Power to drill to the Island to provide full shore power, which may include all utilities. The Island is Permitted from the County for one home of any size and a boat dock )

Find another island that has so much to offer and is so close to everything it is all about the location- Sunset Key has it all. The fishing is awesome- fish off your own private white sugar sand beach on the north side. Watch the wild dolphins feed almost every day all around, or watch the sunset off the dock on the west side of the island. This island is priced to sell fast, local building lots on the water are selling for up to $1 mil and are much smaller with limited privacy. Imagine the possibilities on Sunset Key.
