The Compound Opportunity

This is the kind of property that defines a family’s legacy for generations. Seize the southern tip of Thornton Key — a true bridgeless barrier island on Florida’s Gulf Coast — and create a private waterfront estate, multi-home family compound, or boutique island development.

Now offered at $675,000, this eight-lot, 3.41-acre assemblage provides an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a distinctive waterfront property with multiple ownership and development possibilities. The property offers the potential for custom residences, private docks, boat lifts, and a shared island address for family, friends, or a limited collection of owners.

Navigate directly into Lemon Bay, with access to Stump Pass, Boca Grande Pass, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf. Directly across the channel from Rum Bay Restaurant, Thornton Key offers exceptional fishing, boating, Gulf Coast sunsets, and the privacy of boat-only island living. Scott can help buyers purchase or lease mainland boat slips with parking. Call Scott for details.

For buyers who do not require the entire assemblage, selected individual lots and lot combinations are also available, including paired homesite and waterfront-access parcels.

Seller financing is available for qualified buyers with a meaningful down payment. Detailed property information, lot configurations, planning-level materials, and land-use considerations are available on request. Call Scott for development information or to discuss an offer.
