Discover a Coastal Treasure Rich in History & Quirky Charm
Rumor has it that this one-of-a-kind fish camp cottage was originally a vibrant fish camp nestled in a cove in Panama City. Moved to its current location in 1963, this home is a true piece of local historyâ''and it's brimming with character. Its original log floor joists are solid yet charmingly imperfect, adding a delightful quirkiness that tells a story of its storied past. This is more than just a home; it's a conversation starter, a piece of living history that has hosted legends like George Jones and Alan Jackson, who would park their buses on the street and enjoy good times on the water.
A Unique Coastal Retreat
Imagine waking up to the gentle sounds of water, stepping outside onto your private dock, and casting your line into the bay or taking a boat ride to Shell Islandâ''adventure is just outside your door. Relax on one of two screened-in porches, perfect for unwinding in your hot tub or playing games with loved ones. With 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, this cozy home offers the ideal setting for a peaceful escape or a smart investment in short-term rentals.
Prime Location & Growing Community
Convenience meets opportunityâ''just 5 minutes from Panama City Beach Airport and approximately 20 minutes to public beach access straight in Hwy 79. Nearby favorites like Boondock Restaurant and Bayside Cafe make dining out a delight. Plus, with Highway 79 expanding to include a new hospital and Margaritaville Latitude, this hidden gem is poised for appreciation and growth.
Your Personal Sanctuary or Income-Generating Investment
