$1,295,000 - 3461 Gum Drive, WEEKI WACHEE

FLORIDA'S BEST KEPT SECRET Welcome to PINE ISLAND, FLORIDA — one of the last places on the Gulf Coast that still feels untouched. Getting here is half the magic: a drive down a quiet CAUSEWAY, water glimmering on both sides, and then suddenly... paradise. Just fifty homes make up this tiny island community, each tucked between open water and wild shorelines — the kind of Florida you thought only existed in memories. This GULF-FRONT HOME sits on a LARGE DOUBLE LOT with 125 FEET OF PRIVATE SHORELINE facing west for front-row sunsets that never get old. Out back, it's dolphins instead of neighbors, seashells along the shore, and a sturdy SEAWALL protecting your private stretch of Gulf Coast paradise. PINE ISLAND BEACH PARK is within walking distance, so you can stroll down for ice cream, beach yoga, or a sunset swim without ever getting in the car. Inside, you'll find 2 BEDROOMS + A FLEX AREA DOWNSTAIRS — perfect for guests, an office, or a future third bedroom. Built from CYPRESS WOOD CONSTRUCTION, the home feels solid, warm, and full of authentic coastal character. The layout is open and airy, centered around those panoramic GULF VIEWS that remind you why you're here. Recent updates include a NEW ROOF (2012), NEW AC SYSTEM (2018), UPDATED ELECTRICAL, UPDATED WINDOWS, and FRESH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR PAINT. The home is being sold COMPLETELY FURNISHED, making it truly move-in ready from day one. Perfectly situated on a private road, this property offers EXCLUSIVITY, TRANQUILITY, AND ACCESS TO SOME OF FLORIDA'S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER NATURAL WONDERS. Nature lovers can enjoy the WEEKI WACHEE RIVER, nearby PRESERVES, and PINE ISLAND PARK, ideal for outdoor adventures. Just down the street, you can catch LIVE MUSIC AND LOCAL SEAFOOD AT BAYPORT INN, or head over to MARY'S FISH CAMP — a beloved local spot where you can RENT KAYAKS, EXPLORE WINDING WATERWAYS, OR HOP ON AN AIRBOAT TOUR. This isn't just a home — IT'S A LIFESTYLE. An opportunity to experience the best of Florida's Gulf Coast, surrounded by natural beauty yet close to everything you need. And the best part? THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON SHORT- OR LONG-TERM RENTALS, giving you the flexibility to move right in, share it as a vacation retreat, or generate income while you're away. FLORIDA'S BEST-KEPT SECRET IS WAITING — AND IT COMES WITH A PRIVATE BEACH IN YOUR BACKYARD.
