Florida Fish Camp!
Florida Fish Camp!
Don't know about you, but when we hear the phrase "Fish Camp", we're visualizing a ram-shackled, leaning frame cabin-like structure that's seen better days and still has the old "Fish Camp" sign hanging askew on the front door! That mental image used to be a real one based on memories of trips through laid back Marathon Key back in the 60's on the way to Key West. Those were the days when there was one small grocery, a great shell shop and a local restaurant where you could sit around sipping coffee listening to the old Conchs tell fish stories. As each fish story told of a larger and larger fish that got away, we would laugh so hard our cheeks hurt. When you see this fabulous estate, you'll know that the Keys are becoming much more elegant and today's fish stories are likely true!
Stick your tongue in your cheek and call it a Fish Camp if you must, even if it's just to surprise your weekend guests who will be expecting a shack! It'll be fun just to watch their jaws drop! Once their speech returns, go ahead and give them a tour of your stunning 11,674sf tropical oasis. Let them pick from the 8 bedrooms and bath of their choice, or maybe they'd prefer the 3 bedroom 3.5 bath guest house. We'll leave the Captain's quarters for the captain since the fishing vessel that fits the 190' of deep water dockage will require one! Amenities in the palatial compound include a theatre, bar and entertaining room, private office off the master suite, pool, spa, waterfall, outdoor entertainment areas, outdoor kitchen and even a tennis court. Have groceries brought in and you'll never have reason to step outside your gated entrance. Imagine what a wonderful corporate retreat this would make! Definitely a morale booster!
Tropical sport fishing paradise listed at $12,900,000.
