Summerland Key Real Estate

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.

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.

County biologist says this lot would be buildable. Tier 3 area. Probably some partial open water views. Quiet neighborhood with almost no traffic.
Directions: From US1 take State Rd. 4A to right turn on County Rd. Left on Greneda, right on Kingston, follow it around (Jamaica, Yucatan) to where it turns left on Trinidad. Lot is on the left.
