2 Bed 2 Bath Waterfront ManufacturedHome for Sale in CHERRY ESTATES, FL
3112 Skipper Lane, St James City, FL, 33956
About this home
Positioned on a desirable street in Cherry Estates, this updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath manufactured home sits on an oversized, manicured cul-de-sac lot—offering space, privacy, and serious boating capability. This is a true boater’s setup. Deep water canal access with quick, no-bridge routes to open water provides direct access to Pine Island Sound, the Gulf, Cayo Costa, and Upper Captiva. The dock is built for real use, featuring a new 10,000 lb covered boat lift (2024) upgraded with GEM controls and remote, a captain’s walk, and an additional 1,850 lb davit for a skiff or flats boat. Inside, the home is clean, updated, and easy to live in. New Coretec flooring runs throughout, complemented by an upgraded kitchen with a large island, newer cabinetry, updated lighting, and plantation shutters throughout—keeping the space bright, functional, and comfortable. The lanai extends the living space outdoors, creating a true indoor-outdoor setup, and is equipped with a portable air conditioner for added comfort year-round. Major systems and improvements are already handled, including a metal roof, newer HVAC with WiFi controls, updated carport and lanai roofs, storm protection, and a security system with three WiFi-enabled cameras already in place. The home also remained dry during Hurricane Ian. Out back, the composite dock and seating area create a functional waterfront space, while the reinforced seawall and drainage improvements support long-term stability. A large storage shed adds additional utility for tools, gear, or fishing equipment. Parking is another advantage, with a large carport and additional space that’s hard to find in this area. Located in Cherry Estates, a boating and fishing-focused community with a voluntary HOA, this section offers a well-laid-out setting with strong overall positioning compared to older areas. Offered mostly furnished—including a sofa and loveseat that both convert into sleeper sofas—this is a straightforward waterfront property that delivers where it matters: access, updates, and usability.
