Whether you're searching for your own full-time island retreat, a vacation getaway, or a property with the potential to become a valuable short-term rental or income-producing asset, this one deserves your attention. Situated on a total of 1.52 acres, the property includes approximately 0.83 acres surrounding the home plus an additional 0.69-acre parcel to the east, providing an exceptional buffer and a greater sense of privacy. The land continues south toward the salt marsh, where mangroves create a thriving coastal habitat and provide a front-row connection to the natural beauty and wildlife that make Cedar Key so special.

The main living area offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with thoughtful upgrades throughout.
