Do you dream about having an AFFORDABLE HOME with DIRECT WATER ACCESS to the GULF OF MEXICO? Have a BOAT or just want to FISH from a 700' Pier with a fish cleaning station? Are you a fan of Tiny House Hunters on HGTV? This TINY HOME is the answer! It is in Braden Castle Park on the Braden River as it opens into the Manatee River. The community offers BOAT SLIP RENTAL (subject to availability) for a LOW ANNUAL FEE of ONLY $321 to residents! Have an RV? Parking spaces may also be rented for a low fee. The home includes its own GARAGE with space to store your beach chairs, fishing gear (and of course a car or golf cart) – quite a rarity in this historic community. This tiny home is priced to sell! The exterior looks like a DOLLHOUSE - the interior and back deck could be reasonably upgraded to match. There is an INTERIOR LAUNDRY ROOM and a BONUS ROOM which can be used as an office, crafts room, or an extra bedroom if so desired. This home has CENTRAL HVAC (installed 2021); the ROOF WAS REPLACED IN 2016. VINYL SIDING on both the house and garage makes exterior maintenance a breeze. You will have plenty of time to relax in your lounger out in the front or side yard to converse with neighbors as they pass by on bicycles or golf carts. Can it get any better? This ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD is on the NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. It was originally established by the Tin Cup Campers in the 1920's. Over the years, most homes have been passed down to family members. Very seldom do these homes become available. This FRIENDLY COMMUNITY allows many opportunities to socialize. Besides the FISHING PIER, BOAT RAMP, PRIVATE BOAT DOCKS there are RECREATION FACILITIES with numerous events and activities. Check out a book at the LIBRARY, enjoy a GAME of POOL, work out in the EXERCISE ROOM, or challenge your friends to SHUFFLEBOARD. There is always something happening here – the community bulletin board and newsletter will keep you informed. Although this is a PRIVATE, SECLUDED, LITTLE VILLAGE, it is only minutes from WORLD CLASS DINING, SHOPPING, AIRPORTS and BEACHES. You can live like a Millionaire but stay within a fixed income budget. Check out the attached video fly-over and 3D virtual tour, or, come see it in person!
