1000 Cayo Costa

One-of-a-kind Private Off-Grid Waterfront Paradise on 1.67 acres! Tucked within the 2500-acre Cayo Costa State Park, you will enjoy this magnificent & unique location with over 325' of water frontage on a serene back bay. It feels like being a world away on your own private island!  There is always a natural wonder to behold, calling you to kayak, fish, sail, and adventure. While the location is one of the most private in all of Cayo Costa, it is still just minutes by boat to the famous Cabbage Key restaurant and close to Useppa Island, North Captiva, Boca Grande, & their passes with world-class tarpon fishing. Ideal for a corporate retreat. Your vessels are safe in this protected bay at your private dock, which includes a 10,000lb lift. Custom wood boardwalks connect the home to its extensive outdoor living spaces: a huge Polynesian-style open-air pavilion that rivals grand hotels with its own bar and luxury seating around a fire table and an impressive extra kitchen at the heart of your outdoor entertaining space that can be a facility for your private chef to prep meals for your family or guests. The 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths( plus ground level bonus room) are custom crafted with beautiful wood trim work, the entrances wrapped with intricate carvings imported from Bali. The primary suite offers a four-poster king bed to complete your oasis with panoramic palm tree views, a master bath, and a walk-in closet. Sliding glass doors open directly to a covered porch with extreme privacy, and the master bath shower connects to an incredible outdoor shower.  Two guest bedrooms share a full bath with a deep soaking tub/shower combo. Between the bedrooms is a relaxing den perfect for late family game nights or slow morning starts. Upstairs, the great room awaits with wrap-around covered porches, views of the palms and live oaks, and soaring vaulted ceilings coffered and clad with tropical woods and detailed carvings.  The fantastic kitchen's view is unmatched. Settle into the comfy banquette and watch your cares drift away while you relax and sip your morning latte, watching the sun climb higher into the sky over a mosaic of blue and green ripples on the water. Live edge granite countertops glisten, accented by beautiful high-end appliances, plus a dumb waiter/package elevator delivering directly to the pantry/kitchen section near the built-in bar.  The new state-of-the-art solar/lithium battery/generator system is over the top, providing seamless power for everything within the home just as you would with any on-grid home.  Fill endless beach days with exploring the vast state park beaches and property with miles of biking/hiking trails and pristine sugar sand coastline along the Gulf. An off-road buggy will get the whole family to the beaches in style. With the size, amenities, and attention to detail, this estate would be impossible to re-create at this price. In today's wild and hectic world, this is THE place you need to escape to!
