20 Cooks Island

Authentic island living! A tranquil beach, natural Florida Keys landscape and mesmerizing open water views are the setting for this fantastically private oceanfront pool home located on the leeward tip of Cook Island, off the Atlantic shores of the lower Florida Keys. Accessible by an approximately 10-minute boat ride from Big Pine Key, Cook Island is home to about 15 residences, peacefully remote yet only a 30-mile drive from Key West and a 2.5-hour drive from Miami. This island home is updated with new stainless appliances, new kitchen cabinetry and quartz counters, new bathrooms, new insulation, drywall and baseboards, new luxury vinyl flooring on first level, three new A/C split units, and more. Solar power, propane, cistern, septic tank and generator keep you comfortably self-sufficient, and trusty internet keeps you connected if you choose to be. With not a neighbor in sight, the coastal landscape is home to the famous Key Deer and the surrounding waters offer some of the best fishing, snorkeling, boating, kayaking, jet-skiing, SUP-boarding, lobster hunting and crab trapping that the beloved Florida Keys are known for. A short boat ride will get you to the stunning Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary, an unforgettable snorkeling and diving coral reef. This Florida Keys island home is an out of the ordinary, light-filled, serene escape from the busy life. It's just a few minutes away from ''real'' life, but a world apart! Store your boat and car at a nearby Big Pine Key marina (reasonable monthly rental fee) when you're not in town! Easy! SELLER FINANCING AVAILABLE!
