TURN-KEY WATERFRONT TOURIST VILLAGE IN OZELLO: RESTAURANT & RETAIL MIXED-USE INCOME PRODUCING PORTFOLIO! A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME opportunity to acquire "The Backwater Village" — a fully operational, tri-property waterfront commercial portfolio in the heart of Crystal River’s famous Nature Coast. This package combines three prime addresses (13982 W Ozello Trl, 14014 W Ozello Trl, & 2130 S Waterman Dr) to create a self-sustaining destination tourist hub offering Dining, Boating, Airboat rides, Kayak rentals, Retail, and Lodging potential. THE ANCHOR (13982 W Ozello Trail - Backwater Fins): The crown jewel of the village is the renowned Backwater Fins, a turnkey, fully operational waterfront restaurant and bar. A beloved local landmark with a "Old Florida" vibe, which attracts diners from all over. This property features expansive indoor and outdoor deck seating with sweeping views of the estuary. Includes a fully equipped commercial kitchen, liquor license eligibility (buyer to verify), and dual boat docks that allow customers to arrive by water. This is an immediate revenue generator with a loyal following. WATERFRONT COUNTRY STORE & ADVENTURE HUB (2130 S Waterman Dr - Ms. Fins Oarhouse Retail & Bait Shop): Situated just across the street with direct Gulf access, this commercial waterfront parcel acts as the village’s "Engine Room." Currently operating as a Country Store/bait / tackle shop and charter base for airboat tours and kayak rentals. It features 280+ ft of waterfront, a 120-ft dock, a boat ramp, and saltwater bait tanks. Includes a a 8800sq/ft retail shop. Perfect for running airboat tours, fishing charters, or kayak rentals that feed customers directly to the restaurant. WATERFRONT RETAIL & RESIDENTIAL COTTAGE (14014 W Ozello Trail): Located directly adjacent/across from the restaurant, this versatile "Live/Work" property completes the village concept. The ground floor is a renovated commercial space ideal for a gift store, or ice cream parlor to capture foot traffic. The second floor features a 2-bedroom/1-bath apartment with new flooring—perfect for an owner's suite, employee housing, or a high-demand Airbnb/VRBO unit. THE INVESTMENT: Sold together, these three properties dominate the local market, creating a symbiotic ecosystem: Tourists launch at the dock, eat at the restaurant, and shop/stay at the cottage. Endless potential for expansion in the booming Crystal River eco-tourism market (Manatees, Scalloping, Fishing). Do not miss the boat on owning your own town!
