Welcome to a truly rare offering on Dog Island—an iconic island home accessible only by boat or private aircraft, offering a lifestyle where Swiss Family Robinson–style adventure meets a touch of Jack Sparrow charm. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is situated on the bay side and overlooks approximately 500 acres of permanently protected conservancy land, ensuring expansive natural views and lasting tranquility. The surrounding conservancy property is held by, The Nature Conservancy, which maintains the first right of refusal on all Dog Island Conservation District (DICD) property, preserving the island's natural beauty and limiting future development. Enjoy walking-distance access to Gulf beaches, yacht club docks, and the island's 2, 500-foot grass airstrip, a rare and highly desirable amenity that defines Dog Island living. Designed for relaxed island living and entertaining, the home features a wrap-around porch on the upper level, ideal for enjoying bay breezes and scenic views. Downstairs, covered porches provide shaded outdoor space perfect for gatherings and entertaining. A 300 sq ft workshop/storage area located downstairs offers practical space for projects, gear, and island essentials. The home is built approximately 20 feet above sea level and offers a solid foundation with only minor finishing trim work remaining, allowing for personalization while maintaining the home's character. The kitchen currently includes a commercial-grade gas stove; a new electric range is available and can be easily swapped if preferred. Adding a nostalgic touch, the jukebox and Pac-Man arcade game convey, enhancing the home's distinctive personality. This is a rare opportunity to own a protected island retreat where boating, aviation, and conservation come together in one of Florida's most unique coastal communities.
