Live the island dream in St. James City! This rare 2.5-acre gated retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy, freedom, and true Old Florida charm—just minutes from Boat Ramps (nearest only 1.8 miles), Waterfront Restaurants and the Fire Station with helipad. Hop on your bike or golf cart to grab fresh seafood & groceries or cruise to the beaches on your boat (nearby ramp) for excellent fishing and beach time—this is island living at its finest. Enter through a paved gravel drive to a cleared, build-ready homesite, surrounded by towering pines, lush palmettos, and exotic tropical landscaping. **Sunshine Blvd is a paved road. The property is approved for a single-family residence or agricultural use, opening the door to valuable tax exemptions and a homesteader’s dream lifestyle. **Enjoy irrigated mango and lychee trees, multiple water spigots throughout, conduit pipes already in place for electric, and an electric pole conveniently located at the front gate. Fenced on right side and gated at the entry, this expansive property offers endless room for pets to roam, gardens to flourish, and dreams to grow. With quick access to Pine Island Sound and on to the Gulf, this is a boater’s paradise and a rare opportunity to create a self-sustaining island homestead in one of Southwest Florida’s most beloved communities. Peaceful, private, and ready for your vision—this is true island freedom!
