About this home

SAVE HUGE $ ON INSURANCE with this DIRECT GULF-ACCESS (No bridges and ~5 minutes to open water) that is COMPLETELY OUT OF THE AE FLOOD ZONE - meaning FLOOD INSURANCE IS NOT REQUIRED in most cases! This incredible property, located in the prestigious Gulf-access PALACO GRANDE neighborhood, is the ultimate in affordable direct Gulf-access waterfront lifestyle. Add in the newer METAL ROOF (2023) and HURRICANE SHUTTERS (2018), and this property is set up for significant discounts on insurance! The home itself offers a nice flowing split-bedroom floorplan, with emphasis on the waterfront, including a large, screened lanai with a great mix of shaded and sunny spaces. The large, fenced back yard is perfect for pets, and there's plenty of room to add a pool package. The waterfront consists of a newer composite dock and boat lift (2017) as well as a lowered cantilever dock, convenient for launching kayaks and paddleboards. NO FLOODING FROM ANY RECENT HURRICANES - with this high elevation, it wasn't even close. Don't let a rare opportunity like this slip away - schedule a private tour today!

The good, the trade-offs & the location

Pros
  • Gulf access (Direct — no bridges)
  • Storm protection: Shutters
Consider
  • Built 1967 — pre-2002 construction may carry older wind codes and higher insurance
  • In a higher-risk flood zone (AE) — flood insurance likely required
