7809 36TH AVENUE E

Smack dab in the middle of Florida's west coast vacation triangle: Tampa-St.Pete-Sarasota. This is a legacy type property and can be best described as something out of Florida's past. Mature oaks, wooded trails, resort style pool and spa, meandering creeks, log style cabins, and a camping area used as the family fish camp.
Secure gated access with over 18 acres of privacy and old Florida charm, you will say "wow" upon arrival.
Also not to be overlooked is the immediate passive income the property. There is are several long term leases in place for the storage field, barn apartment, front house, and a wholesale nursery.
A quick tour of the three parcels, begins at the "front house" which is on it's own private acre. This is a 3BR/ 1BA single family home with a new well, central a/c, and 2 car garage. The home is currently leased. As you drive further into the property, you'll pass a wholesale nursery on your left. This has been owned and operated by the same family for more than 15 years and that owner currently pays a land lease for the use. On your right, there is an old barn which has been converted into an apartment with it's own garage, central a/c and office downstairs. Hardwood floors make it a very unique home and it is also currently leased. Behind the barn apartment, there is a storage field for seasonal RV's, boats, and trailers. As you pass the barn, you'll enter a private tree lined drive and eventually reach the security gate. As you gain access, you'll see the main home and guest cabin to your right. The main home is a 5BR/3.5BA log cabin with game room, separate billiard room off the living area, private pool and lovely front porch. To it's right, there is a matching (smaller) log cabin with 1BR/1BA and a loft bedroom up above. This has it's own power, a/c, and well and does well as a vacation rental all year round. Across from the main home, there is a resort style pool and patio with a spa. There is plenty of storage out there as well, for pool toys, BBQ grills, the smoker and anything else you'll need for hosting. Behind that is a large pole barn and 2 horst stalls. Here, there is room for the riding mower, tractor, and any other equipment you'll need for horses or property maintenance. The surrounding property consists of three large, fenced pastures where you can ride horses or maybe get a cow to keep the grass down. Further back, there is a ten acre parcel which is heavily wooded but trails have been cut for leisure activities such as hunting, fishing, paintball, or for camping out in the old fishing cabins.
Along the creek, there is a canoe outpost, with several canoes and kayaks to enjoy nature as it's meant to be, in a preserved environment, untouched by development. Frog Creek and Cabbage Slough converge at the back of the property, then wind their way out to Terra Ceia Preserve, then the bay, and then the Gulf beyond that. Beware of the gators and snakes, as this is a natural environment, home to river otters, raccoons, gopher tortoise, a wide variety of fish, and there is usually a family of bobcat somewhere on the property.
