There are properties you buy as investments. 8241 Main Street in Bokeelia offers the unusual opportunity to do both. This rare historic waterfront estate, built in 1914 and formerly the Bokeelia Tarpon Inn, has been transformed by the current owners through more than $1 million in improvements, restoration, systems, finishes, landscaping, and exterior enhancements. ONE PROPERTY. MANY POSSIBILITIES. Private Florida estate. Executive retreat. Corporate residence. Florida transition home. Legacy property. Furnished rental. Boutique hospitality concept. Boating and fishing base. Income-producing waterfront asset. Approximately 3,200 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, expansive indoor and outdoor gathering areas, panoramic Charlotte Harbor views, two private boat slips with lift access, extensive storm protection, upgraded systems, designer finishes, and potential turn-key availability. LOCATION MAY BE THE PROPERTY'S GREATEST AMENITY. Bokeelia sits at the north end of Pine Island in one of Southwest Florida's most distinctive waterfront settings. This is Old Florida - quieter, lower-density, more authentic, and far removed from the tower-and-traffic experience of many coastal markets. Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, Matlacha Pass, Boca Grande, Cayo Costa, North Captiva, Captiva, Sanibel, and the Gulf beyond form the broader boating and fishing environment. The Charlotte Harbor and Boca Grande region is internationally known for tarpon, along with snook, redfish, seatrout, grouper, snapper, cobia and mackerel. Mangroves, seagrass beds, estuaries and protected aquatic preserves surround the island. The docks are only the beginning. The real amenity is the water system beyond them. Inside, improvements include a designer kitchen with Big Chill appliances, soapstone countertops, custom cabinetry and brass details, upgraded baths, custom millwork, impact-resistant windows, electric hurricane protection, Kevlar protection at the upstairs lanai, Generac standby generator, metal roof, spray-foam insulation, tankless water heater, upgraded HVAC, AZEK decking, landscaping and lighting. The property may also be available furnished. For buyers considering investment or income-producing use, furnished rental, hospitality, executive lodging and other strategies may be worth exploring, subject to applicable zoning, association requirements, permits, insurance and governmental approvals. Qualifying furniture, fixtures and equipment may also offer depreciation opportunities; buyers should consult their own tax professionals regarding eligibility and treatment. PUBLIC PRICING(TM) IS NOT CONVENTIONAL OPEN-CRY BIDDING. It is a seller-and-buyer collaboration process that allows serious buyers to study the property, form their own opinion of value, communicate privately, and have a conversation before final decisions are made. Understand the property. Have a conversation. Decide your price. All bidding communication is handled directly through the listing auctioneer and broker, together with the owner. Broker cooperation is welcome, including appropriate cooperation with out-of-state brokers in accordance with Florida law. The owners have relocated and are ready to move forward. If 8241 Main Street is of serious interest to you, begin the conversation sooner rather than later.
