A rare and iconic waterfront retreat, the Coral Sandcastle Cottage captures the spirit of nineteen sixties South Florida living, thoughtfully rebuilt to honor the original design principles of the famed Mackle Brothers known for their timeless Biscayne Bay architecture. Perfectly positioned on a canal that opens directly to the mouth of the Cocohatchee River, this property offers quick access to the Gulf within minutes and is surrounded by three thousand acres of protected mangroves and estuary, home to extraordinary birdlife throughout the winter months. The exterior is a private oasis featuring twenty tons of imported sand creating your own beach, an expansive hardscape porch that nearly doubles the living space into the outdoors, and a twenty by twelve seafoam retractable awning covering the carport for flexible shaded parking or entertaining. Existing pilings allow for easy dock placement, accommodating a sizeable vessel with deep water access. A standing-seam roof of high-gauge metal and PGT impact resistant
