Imagine
flying your own plane to your island paradise home where you step onto
your sports fisherman or cabin cruiser for a weekend of sun and fun. It’s
all possible here. Summerland is a Mecca for larger boat owners and private
pilots. It’s one of the few places in the whole country where you
can have it both ways.
The
island boasts wide flow-through canals and a private air strip for local
residents making it a perfect spot to park a Beechcraft and a 50+ foot
boat. The majority of homes on Summerland are located on the Atlantic side
of the Overseas Highway.
Although
there is some price variation, homes here are generally more expensive.
Those on what’s called “open water” are even more so,
with a good number of multi-million dollar homes.
Summerland
has a small downtown along US#1, with a good boutique grocery store, a
couple of restaurants, real estate offices, a bank, some healthcare offices,
an office building, a post office and some retail. You will also
find some great fishing charter boats here.

Posted by admin under: Little Torch Key.
The Torch Keys are located just west (south on the “highway”) of Big Pine Key and are comprised of three separate islands know as Big, Middle, and Little Torch Key. They are named for the torchwood tree. Little Torch Key is the primary residential area with the majority of development nestled into the canal systems just south and north of the Overseas Highway. While there is some residential development on both Middle and Big Torch Keys, these islands are largely protected by state and federal wetlands and hardwood hammocks.
Little Torch offers excellent boating access to both backcountry and offshore for both small and some larger boats. Some of the canals can be tricky to get out of, so it’s surprising to find that a number of residents here keep fairly large sailboats tucked behind their houses and in the wintertime the cool evening breezes and the sounds of the sailboat halyards lull nearby residents to sleep.
Despite its feel of an older neighborhood, a little like some parts of Key Largo, Little Torch prices can be relatively higher, as they tend to reflect easy access to a deep water channel. There is even a marina on the island to fuel your boat.
This is where you catch the motor launch to the famous Little Palm Island Resort to stay or to go for dinner. It’s also a good place to rent a boat for exploring on your own.

Ramrod Key Real Estate
Continuing further south on the island chain you come to Ramrod Key, named for a ship named Ramrod, which was wrecked on a reef south of there in the early nineteenth century. Ramrod is a very quiet and primarily residential island with pleasant neighborhood developments located mostly south of the highway (oceanside), but there are also homes on the north side. It is described by residents as being more “laid-back”, friendlier and “keysey” than the islands found further down the chain. Ramrod is very familiar to the residents of the Lower Keys as it is home to a “resort” and Tiki Bar with a dive shop, accommodations, and a bar/restaurant. The famous Looe Key Reef is located not far offshore from Ramrod. You will also find an excellent animal hospital, and a popular local restaurant/bar with a miniature golf course.
Boating control depths are typically about 3 feet oceanside and 2 feet bayside with good access to both offshore and back country boating and fishing. Smaller boats, less than 30ft are typical here.

Sugarloaf Key Real Estate
Former home to the Sugarloaf Pineapple Plantation, Sugarloaf Key offers quiet solitude to its residents. If you are looking for larger lots and floor plans, more luxurious landscaping and privacy this is the Key for you. The majority of homes are located south of the Overseas Highway looking out onto the distinctive blue white waters of Upper and Lower Sugarloaf Sounds. Large ocean front estates rim the outside of the island facing out to the Atlantic.
Boating is excellent for shallow draft boats with access to the backcountry, but there is no access for large boats or sailboats. The Sugarloaf backcountry is legendary for flats fishing.
The upper portion of the island (also known locally as Upper Sugarloaf Key) has a public school, church, restaurant, and KOA campground. The lower portion of the island (Lower Sugarloaf Key), although smaller in area, is more densely populated and is also called Sugarloaf Shores. It has Sugarloaf Lodge and restaurant, a volunteer fire department, a bank, and Sugarloaf Key bat tower, built in 1929 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The tower was built to control the mosquito (and hence malaria) problem in the Lower Keys, but reportedly, when the bats were put in, they flew away.
If you are a pilot, Sugarloaf has a basic public airstrip you can fly into. There’s a popular sky diving operation, and you’ll definitely see folks falling from the sky. The houses along the airstrip get together at Christmas and the “Ho-Ho-Ho” lights (One “Ho” for each house) can be seen for miles
